It was absolutely a recovery day for me; that is, I went out for a run after work but kept the pace really slow (i.e., considering the snowpack, this was easy to do). For this late evening run, while listening to my Jazz win their sixth consecutive game (this one over the Bucks), I jogged around the neighborhood before heading over to Big Cottonwood Park. There were wide pools of standing water at the park (i.e., it must have been pretty warm during the day) that were filling the air with a cool steam (the same steam you get when placing an unfrozen ice-cube tray into the freezer) due to the 12-dergree temperature. It was a pain to run around these pools, but made for a surreal feel. I eventually made my way over to the snow-packed track circling the softball complex. As I completed five laps around the softball complex, I was glad I wore my Brooks Cascadia trail running shoes. I then called it a day and jogged back home completing a total distance of 6.2 miles.
My non-running workout consisted of 300 sit-ups, 30 push-ups, a 90-second wall sit, and a 60-second plank. |
