After a short night of sleep, I got out for an early morning run. Even though my legs were a little tired, this was a nice short turnaround run; therefore, great training for the Ragnar Las Vegas Relay (which is only two weeks away). I jogged 3.35 miles over to the Salt Lake Running Company where I met up with the gang. We ran our standard 6.4-mile Sugar House Park route that includes two laps around the park (one outer and one inter loop). I completed this run in a total time of 46:23 (i.e., a pace of 7:15 minutes per mile with a heart rate of 163 bmp) with 1.4 miles being at marathon pace. I finished off my morning workout by jogging 3.4 miles back to home.
In order not only to get in a few extra miles, but also to prepare for my up and coming relay race, I headed out for an evening run up to the Smith-Kiln Chimney and back. The total distance of this run was 4.15 miles at an easy pace. Overall, my legs are tired and sore (especially my left hip), but I was not filling too bad and will be ready to run again early tomorrow morning.
Finally, for my non-running workout, I completed my typical routine of 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
