This morning I biked up to the Hogle Zoo to finally begin my Des-News Marathon training. Now that the Wasatch Back is over (what a great race), I can finally start to really focus on my favorite marathon. Starting at the 15.6 mile mark on the course (i.e., just above the Zoo), I ran the course to Liberty Park (i.e., Crest View, Wasatch, University, South Temple, 300 East, and 800 South). I accomplished this 10.6 miles run at a 7:12 pace which is not too bad (felt pretty relaxed the entire way). I then did the tough part of running the 3.4 miles back up to the Zoo to get me bike.
After running a few errands during the day, I got out for a nice evening run in my NB Ninimus trail shoes where I completed four and a half laps (6.2 miles) around the park’s dirt trail at an easy pace (8:08 minutes per mile) before calling it day.
Besides a 16-mile bike ride, I was also able to get in 300 sit-ups.
