Today I was able to make up for the miles that I missed by not going on my group run yesterday.  To start off the day, I ran over to Big Cottonwood Park and completed four laps around the softball complex before heading back.  The total distance of this easy-pace run was 2.4 miles.

Early, in the afternoon, I went out for my second run that consisted of running over to the Holladay-Lions Recreation Center where I divided up my workout between the elliptical machine (6.8 miles) and the treadmill (6.9 miles) before jogging back to home.  The round-trip distance to and from the Recreation Center was 3.9 miles.

While watching the Sunday morning news programs, I was able to compete 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups for my non-running workout.

Besides a 0.2-mile warm-up on the elliptical machine during one of my breaks from work, I completed my non-running workout outside today.  After jogging six-tenths of a mile on my way home, I went back out for a run over to Big Cottonwood Park where I completed seven laps around the softball complex before heading back home.  The total distance of this run was 3.6 miles at easy pace.

For my non-running workout, I completed 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups.

Following work, I hit the treadmill and knocked out a 10k (i.e., 6.2 miles) at an easy pace.  I was able to pick up the pace a little bit on this run, but not quite up to marathon pace.  Consequently, my right calf/shin is feeling a little stronger and healing slowly.  In addition, after I got home from work, I went out for a 1.4-mile jog around the neighborhood.

Lastly, in regards to my non-running workout, I was able to get in 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups.

Following work, I hit the treadmill for an even 2.0 miles (one mile at an easy pace and one mile at marathon pace) before deciding to head home and go out for a short evening run. In regards to this dusk run, I jogged over to Big Cottonwood Park and completed two laps of the softball complex before taking the long-way back to home. In summary, I was able to cover 2.1 miles.

For my non-running workout, I was able to get in 300 sit-ups, 30 push-ups, and 40 (30 lbs) curls.

Since it was a busy day at work, I did not have time to hit the treadmill afterwards.  As a result, after I got home from work, I went out for an evening run.  For this workout, I completed 4.2 miles at an easy pace by running over to Big Cottonwood Park where I circled the softball complex eight times before heading back.

In regards to my non-running workout, I accomplished 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups.

After staying up late to watch my Jazz get a trilling win over the Caves with a 3-pointer by Gaines at the buzzer, I will need to catch up on my sleep debt this weekend.  Following a busy day at work, I hit the treadmill where a completed 2.0 miles at an easy pace before heading home.  Prior to calling it day, I headed out for a late-evening run up to the Smith-Kiln Chimney then up to Harmon’s before heading back by way of Big Cottonwood Park.  Once at the park, I completed eleven laps of the softball complex then jogged back to home.  In total, I completed 8.2 miles during my evening run.

Once again, my daily non-running workout consisted of 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups.

Since it was a red-burn day (by the way, there should be some storms coming through tomorrow and on Monday to clear the inversion out of the Valley), the Salt Lake Running Company group met up at the Olympic Oval.  Consequently, I jogged over to the bus stop and took an early-morning bus out to Kearns.  After meeting up with the group, we completed 23 laps on the indoor track at a pretty good pace.  Then I stretched for a little and completed another 21 laps of the track at an easy pace before jumping on the stationary bike for a cool down mile.  To complete my running workout for the day, I jogged back to the bus stop and took the bus home.  In total, I accomplished 18.5 miles of running for the day.

Lastly, my non-running workout consisted of the typical 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups.
