This Sunday morning I biked up the Hogle Zoo and met up with one of my friends from the Salt Lake Running Company Group to run part of the Deseret News Marathon course. Starting just up from Crestview Drive (approximately mile marker 15.7 of the course), we ran about 6.5 miles on the course before leaving the course at 100 South and 1300 East. Taking North Campus Drive and cutting over to Fort Douglas, the return trip to Hogle Zoo was short in distance, but a pretty good incline. The total distance of this run was 10.2 miles at an average pace of 6:57 minutes per mile with the following mile splits: 6:47, 6:30, 6:19, 6:20, 6:58, 6:53, 7:53, 7:56, 6:47, and 7:04.
In addition to my 22.0-mile bike ride, my non-running workout consisted of the typical 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
