I could barely walk down stairs this morning to get the paper.  The SLC Marathon really trashed my legs.  With that said, since I’m really eager to get back into the training routine, I headed out for a very slow pace jog/shuffle.  For this workout, I shuffled over to the Lions Rec Center where I completed two hours on the elliptical machine then on the way home I completed six laps around the softball complex at Big Cottonwood Park before calling it a day.  In total I was able to get in an even 16.0 miles.

While watch the Sunday morning news shows, I completed my non-running workout of  300 sit-ups.

Happy Patriots Day!

Today, I took some time to recover; that is, my legs were sure feeling it after sitting all day at work.  In short, a 5k on the elliptical machine and an even one mile jog around the neighborhood.

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

I got to work extra early today; therefore, I decided to hit the gym to get in my daily run.  For this workout, I divided it up between a 5k on the treadmill and a 5k on the elliptical machine.

In regards to my non-running workout, it was another day of 300 sit-ups.

For the second day in a row, I arrived at work an hour early in order to get in my run on the treadmill.  I accomplished another 10k today with a much faster pace than yesterday (i.e., 8:02; fastest pace since Saturday).

My daily non-running workout consisted of just another day of 300 sit-ups.

I arrived at work an hour early for the third day in a row to get in my daily run.  I ran the first 2.2 miles on the old rickety treadmill (all the new ones are still out of order), which seemed to really beat up my right leg.  As a result, I went outside and ran a 4.5-mile loop around the International Center before reporting to work. 

My daily non-running workout consisted of 300 sit-ups and 70 (50 lbs) curls.

My busy three-day weekend started today; that is, I was so busy studying for the CFA and finishing up on a project that I was only able to get in 2.7 miles at an easy pace around Big Cottonwood Park.  Hopefully this will help my right leg heal.

For my daily non-running workout, I completed 300 sit-ups.

The beyond busy weekend continued today and I was only able to take a short break to get in a 2.3-mile jog around Big Cottonwood Park.  I’m not going to get my 72 miles in this week, but hopefully getting caught up on my work will help my body recover a little bit from last week’s marathon.

In regards to my daily non-running workout, I just completed 300 sit-ups.
