For the first time in a few weeks, I woke up early the Saturday morning and jogged 3.4-miles down to the Salt Lake Running Company to meet up with our running group. This group run was a hill workout in that we ran up to the Sugar House Park and completed one lap around the park’s outer loop and one lap around the inter loop before heading back to the store. The total distance of this run was 6.4 miles (average pace an even 7:00 minutes per miles; 2.0 miles at marathon pace). The heat and humidity made for a very challenging run and placed a few concerns in my head for next week’s Deseret News Marathon (one week a way).
After running 3.3 miles from the store back to home at a very easy pace, I spent the remaining part of the day resting and recovering. When it cooled down a little bit in the late evening, I went out for a 4.0-mile run up to the Smith-Kiln Chimney and back at an easy pace.
For my daily non-running workout, I got in a 9.6-mile bike ride to Sugar House and back to home along with 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
