First day of wearing shorts for 2010!  Mid-fifties and nothing but a clear blue sky as I went out for a mid-afternoon run down to the Matheson Court House and back.  This workout largely involved running the Salt Lake Marathon course  from 4500 South and 700 East, down 500 East to Liberty Park, then up State Street to the  Matheson Court House and back (i.e., approximately miles 17.8-25.0).  The total distance of this run was 16.3 miles at an easy pace.

While watching my CFA video classes, I completed my daily non-running workout of 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups.

Since I did not get off of work until late in the day, I was only able to get in a short 2.3 miles (1.7 miles at marathon pace) on the treadmill before heading home.  However, after I got home, I went out for a night run over to Big Cottonwood Park where I completed three laps around the softball complex before heading home.  The total distance of this run was 2.2 miles at an easy pace.

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

After I got home from work, I grabbed me walkman and headed out for an evening run over to Big Cottonwood Park while listen to the second half of the Jazz-Blazer game (the Jazz won their seventh game in a row).  Once at the park, I completed twelve laps of the softball complex before heading home.  The total distance of this run was 6.2 miles at an easy pace.

Since I was not able to get to the gym today, I just completed my standard non-running workout of 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups.

I jogged on the treadmill after work for only a mile before heading home and out for another evening run.  On this second run, I ran up to the Smith-Kiln Chimney and took a lap around the Brickyard Shopping Plaza before heading back home by way of Big Cottonwood Park.  The total distance of this run was 5.1 miles at an easy pace.

Before calling it day, I was able to get in 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups.

I was only able to hit the treadmill for three-tenths of a mile during one of my breaks from work; therefore, I saved my running for a late-evening run over to the Cottonwood Country Club and back to home by way of Big Cottonwood Park.  The total distance of this evening run was 7.6 miles at an easy pace.

For my non-running workout, I was able to accomplish 300 sit-ups, 30 push-ups, 150 (50, 40, 30 lbs) curls, and 60 (50 lbs) reverse curls.

Shortly after getting out of bed, I did some stretches before running 2.1 miles at an easy pace up to the Salt Lake Running Company.  For our weekly group run, the marathon-training schedule called for a long run day of 14-16 miles.  Consequently, we knocked out 15.5 miles in a run through the foggy morning air that involved a lap around Sugar House Park, to 1300 South, up to 2700 East, and past 3300 South then our typical 1700-1900 East and 3300-2400 South loop before returning to the store.  With an average pace of 7:06, my splits for this run were as follows: 8:01, 7:11, 6:36, 7:07, 7:14, 6:51, 7:01, 7:15, 7:18, 8:00, 6:46, 6:32, 7:10, 6:59, 6:53, and 3:15.

Following a 2.1-mile jog back to home, a good breakfast, and a recovery nap, I headed up to University of Utah to study for the CFA.  This outing entailed 3.1 miles of easy-pace running to and from the bus stop.

Finally, my non-running workout consisted of 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups.
