This Saturday morning, I did my usual 3.4-mile run down to the Salt Lake Running Company to meet up with the gang for a Sugar House Park run (by the way, it was Rhielle’s last day of leading this group run, which she was done a beyond awesome job of putting together over the past year. Once at the park, we completed a single lap around the parameter loop of the park then four laps around the inner loop of the park before returning to the store. The best part of this run was that they were having some type of Christmas 5k because there were a half dozen of Santa Clauses running around the park. We ended up having a Saint Ralph moment when one the Santa Clauses cheered us up park’s south hill. Anyway, the total distance of this run was 10.4 miles and we were able to knockout the last 1.4 miles at a marathon pace. Overall, I averaged a 7:04 minutes-per-mile pace, which is not too bad considering the weather was not ideal (i.e., pretty windy at times and we’re supposed to get a couple of snow storms over the next few days). After thanking Rhielle for all the great work she has done, I jogged the 3.4 miles back to home.
While listening to my Jazz make another comeback road victory (this time in Portland), I completed my non-running workout of 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
