Continuing with my objective from yesterday to mentally prepare myself for this Saturday’s Salt Lake City Marathon, I set out early in the afternoon to run a large segment of the course’s second half. After jogging down to 4500 South and 700 East, I ran miles 17.5-23.3 of the course the completed a lap around Liberty Park before returning home. The total distance of this run was 12.8 miles and with the exception of the final full mile that I ran at marathon pace, at an easy pace. In regards to my right hamstring, it’s still stiff, but no real soreness. I believe the post-run stretching, icing, and work with the massage-running stick is paying off.
Finally, for my non-running workout, I was able to accomplish 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
