It was a busy Sunday of taking classes and studying for the CFA, however I was able to get a run in before and after class.  In the morning, I went for a wake-up call around the University of Windsor campus and in the evening my run was from Alumni Hall to the River Parkway Trail then down to Reasume Park and back.  On the way back, the rain started to come down, which made for an exciting experience.  In total, I covered 16.1 miles at an easy pace (8:06 minutes per mile).

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

Today was my first day of full CFA Level #2 review classes; therefore, I was only able to get in a morning run.  However, I got in a good wake-up run in which I ran from Alumni Hall to the River Parkway Trail then down to the Windsor Caesar Casino and back.  I met up with a few other classmates on this out and back run, which were from various cities throughout the United States and Canada.  It was neat to see a number of runner out for a morning run.  The total distance of this run was 6.2 miles at an easy pace  (7:32 minutes per mile).

Finally, for my non-running workout, I completed another day of 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups.

Before another full-day of CFA Level #2 review classes, I hit the streets of Windsor for a nice 6.3-mile easy pace run (7:56 minutes per mile).  Getting a little tired of running on the River Parkway Trail, I headed into East Windsor to the Mic Mac Sports Park (i.e., and enormous park consisted of numerous baseball and soccer fields) and back to Alumni Hall.

My daily non-running workout consisted of 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups.

It was another pre-class run this morning.  For this run, I ran from Alumni Hall to downtown Windsor then over to and back by way of the River Parkway Trail.  The total distance of the wake-up run was 6.3 miles at an easy pace (7:33 minutes per mile).

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

Wanting to get away from the traffic and the city a little bit, I headed to North Windsor for my pre-breakfast run.  Starting out from Alumni Hall, I ran up to and down South Cameron Road for a couple of miles before heading back.  This road consisted of little traffic and lots of swamp land.  In total, I completed 6.5 miles at a relatively easy pace (7:39 minutes per mile).

In regard to my non-running workout, I was another day of my typical 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups.

It was the final day of my CFA Level #2 class; therefore, I went on a short morning run and after class ended, I relaxed and celebrated a little bit by going out for a mid-afternoon run.  My morning workout consisted of a run over to the University Windsor's track and back to Alumni Hall.  In the afternoon, it was a fun sightseeing run to downtown Windsor and over to Walker’s Candy Store and back to the University.  The total mileage of this run was 11.3 miles at an easy pace (9:19 minutes per mile).

Lastly, for my non-running workout, I completed my typical 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups.

Before catching a cab to the Detroit Airport and my flight back home to Salt Lake City, I woke up early for one last run in Windsor.  The night before, when looking at a map of the city, I decided to make this a destination run to Lake View Park and Marina which overlooks Lake St. Clair (approximately 8-9 miles away from the dorms I was staying in).  When I woke up and headed outside of Alumni Hall, it started to rain.  A half mile into the run, it really started to pour and I had a few thoughts about turning back.  However, I was determined to reach my destination and after two miles the weather quickly changed and the sky started to clear up which made for a great sunrise.  I made it to Lake View Park and Marina and admired the view!  On the way back, it was a battle against the wind, but I made it in time to get to the airport.  In summary, I completed 17.3 miles at an easy pace (8:28 minutes per mile).

When I got back to Salt Lake City, I completed my daily non-running workout of 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups.  It feels great to be home!
