This morning, my right foot felt a little bit better after spending the night in the Strasburg Sock. I woke up at 5:20 am and after doing some stretching I headed out at 6:00 am and jogged 0.65 of a mile over to Big Cottonwood Park to meet up with my friend from the Salt Lake Running Company. We ran up to Canyon Rim Park and completed one lap around the park before heading up to Skyline High School and the back to Big Cottonwood Park. The total distance was 11.25 miles at an average pace of 7:26 minutes per mile (one mile of this distance was at marathon pace). I then jogged seven-tenths of a mile back to home. My foot held up during the uphill climbing, but during the descents it really started to cramp up (a little painful at times).
After soaking my foot in ice, it did not feel that bad (i.e., I could walk around on it). Consequently, in the early evening I laced up my Brooks Cascadia 4s and headed out for a trail run over to Big Cottonwood Park where I completed 3 laps around the park's dirt trail before heading back to home. The total distance of this run was an even 4.0 miles.
While watching the Sunday morning news shows, I completed 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
