Today I went on an errand run up to the Salt Lake Running Company to pick-up some gel for next weeks race; that is, the Salt Lake City Marathon is only one week away! After my stop at the running store, I ran down to 5th East then over to Liberty Park where I did one lap around the before heading back home. I did the total 13.2 miles of this run at an easy pace and had the fun of battling the heavy rains for the middle five miles of this run.
It was another repeat for me of day nine (i.e., week 3, day 3) of the Push-up Challenge. I once again feel short of completing this workout; however, I was only a single push-up shy of moving on to week four. I completed a total of 119 push-ups over five sets, which consisted of 22, 30, 20, 20, and a max set of 27 push-ups. I tried, but was unable to get in that 28th and final push-up on that fifth set. Unfortunately, I will have to wait at least two weeks until I will have a chance to commence week four of the Push-up Challenge; that is, with the big race next week I will tapering both my running and non-running workouts. As a result, I am hoping complete week three of the Push-up Challenge the week following the Salt Lake City Marathon. In addition to the push-ups, I was able to get in 200 sit-ups. |
