Following a great night of catching up on my sleep, I hit the roads for a serious hill workout. I began my workout by running up to Skyline High School then proceeded up Mill Creek Canyon to a mile beyond the winter gates to the Evergreen Picnic Area. I was just over an eleven-mile climb and 2,200 feet in elevation gain! In other words, an excellent Wasatch Back workout! I then picked up the speed on my descent down the canyon and stopped by REI on my way home to pickup some supplies for the for our upcoming relay race (less than three weeks away). In total, this Sunday-afternoon run was 22.6 miles long and at a relatively easy pace (total time 3:18:44; average pace 8:48 minutes per mile).
While watching the Sunday morning news programs coverage the Gulf Coast Oil Disaster, I completed my non-running workout of 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
