Just after I woke up this morning, I hit the streets and did some hill work in preparation for my battle with the infamous Ragnar leg of the Wasatch Back Relay (only 20 days away). This hill workout consisted of running from my home up through the Holladay neighbors all the way to above Wasatch Boulevard to the top of 4500 South. I completed this uphill run in a time of 52:17 (with my slowest mile being the last full mile, which took me 10:30 minutes to run). As I ran back down I did some extra training by running a single lap of the Oakridge Elementary track and a half lap around the softball complex at Big Cottonwood Park; therefore, completing a nice 12.4–mile run (9.4 miles at an easy pace; whereas, 3.0 miles at marathon pace).
My non-running workout (which I did a majority of while watching the Sunday television news programs) consisted of 200 sit-ups, 30push-ups, and 10 metronomes. |
