This Saturday morning, I woke up after a great night of sleep and jogged 3.4 miles down to the Salt Lake Running Company to meet up with the gang for a group run. For this workout, we ran up to Sugar House Park completed one lap around the outer trail of the park--by the way, most of the snow has ready melted along this trail--then four laps around the inner road of the park before heading back to the store. I was able to average a pace of 6:48 minutes per mile and my splits for this run were: 6:57, 7:53, 7:18, 6:31, 6:25, 6:40, 6:37, 6:45, 6:44, 6:14, and 3:22 (total time of 1:11:26 and we hit the ten-mile mark at 1:08:06). After recovering in the store from this really exhausting run (i.e., my running buddy Soren really outpaced me for second half of this run), I jogged the 3.4 miles back to home.

In regards to my non-running workout, I completed 300 sit-ups, 30 push-ups, a 90-second wall sit, and a 60-second plank on elbows and toes.

awesome week, rossy. and a great run today.

also, seeing your blog posts about doing the plank is what inspired me to bring it back into my core routine. we'll get to that 5:00 soon enough!

Nice! I even told my weekend running buddy about our shared and ambitious 5-minute plank goal (he is also onboard); therefore, for better or for worse, we are all in it together (there is nothing quite like peer pressure).
