This Sunday morning, I went on my final practice run of the Deseret News Marathon course before this Saturday’s big race. To limit the miles, I jogged 0.4 of a mile over to the bus stop where I caught a bus heading downtown. Starting at 400 South and 900 East, I ran an even 4.0 miles that was mainly straight uphill to the Hogle Zoo. This is where I got on the marathon course, which I followed the last 10.6 miles of all the way down to Liberty Park. I kept up a steady, but easy pace (only one mile at marathon pace) for this final trial run. Once at Liberty Park, I met up with a friend from work and jogged a single 1.4-mile lap around the park. I then finished off my running workout by jogging eight-tenths of a mile to and from the bus stop on my way home.
In regards to my non-running workout, I completed my typical routine of 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
