I woke up early this Saturday morning and head off to Hogle Zoo in order to get some practice on the Des-News Marathon course. Starting at the base of Crest View Drive, I ran the last 10.6 miles of the marathon course in a time of 1:13:29 (i.e., a 6:56 minutes per mile pace). It was really hot, but overall it felt great. I then trudged 3.4 miles back up to the zoo to fetch my bike before heading home.

Besides my 15.2-mile bike ride to and from the zoo, my daily non-running workout consisted of 300 sit-ups.

Five-Minute Plank Challenge: 30 second plank and side planks

Trying-To-Go-Out-Of-My-Way-To-Eat-Healthy Challenge: a serving of peaches

This was a good run...I wouldn't call it "Easy" though! Well...maybe it was for you :-)
