It’s great to be back in Salt Lake City!!! Today, I had a lot to get caught up on, so I did not head out until late in the evening. So I cut my planned long run short and will make it up tomorrow. However, for this run I got in 8.45 miles by running over to the grocery store and back with over to the Cottonwood Country Club and back.
While watch the morning news I was able to get in my non-running workout of 300 sit-ups.

Today it was back to work after taking just over a week off to study for the CFA. After I completed my shift, I changed into my running gear and ran 15.6 miles from the International Center to home. I have biked this route a number of times, but never have run the entire route. While I was running I was thinking that when I first started getting back into running just over six year ago and started working at my current job, I would never imagine myself running home from work. This workout was a good accomplishment and made up for my off-day (i.e., relative to other weekends) on Sunday.
In regards to my non-running workout, I completed 300 sit-ups.

This morning I arrived at work early and went for a 8.1-mile morning run over to the airport bike path, through Wing Point golf course to North Temple and 2400 West and back to work. It was pouring rain the entire way and I was just completely soaked. In short, this is what running is all about!!!
For my non-running workout, I was able to get in 300 sit-ups.

Today was a recovery day for me in order to give myself some time to catch up from my week away from the office and to get some studying in for the CFA. In total, I was able to get in 4.1 miles which consisted of a jog from Westminster College to the 900 East bus stop and a late evening job around the neighborhood. Also, only one month before the Wasatch Back!
My daily non-running workout consisted of just 300 sit-ups and 2 two-minute wall-sits.

Okay, I almost feel like I should just cut and paste Tuesday's run into this blog posting; that is, another early morning airport bike path run through the pouring rain and I ended up completely drenched. However, I only ran 7.6 mile this time and did not finish off that last half of a mile because I had to get on a conference call. Also, I was much faster today; that is, clocking a 7:30 pace which is my fastest pace without really feeling it in my right knee for quite some time. I’m getting back to 100%!!!

Following a busy week at work, I hit the streets and ran from the International Center, through the Airport Bike paths to North Temple. Before I reaching the State Fair Grounds, I turned up on the Jordan River Parkway Trail and took it over to Redwood Road then ran back to the International Center. The total distance of this run was 10.1 miles at an easy pace. My knee is gradually improving and I should be ready to test it on a long run tomorrow.
For my non-running workout, I completed 300 sit-ups and 3 two-minute wall-sits.

My right knee was a little stiff when I woke up this morning; however, I felt like I needed to give it a stress test with a long run. Consequently, I ran 8.3 miles up to the amphitheater parking lot near the mouth of City Creek Canyon where I met up with one of my Wasatch Back teammates. We began to run up the Canyon and near the top one of my other Wasatch Back buddies (and former FRBer, Mogli, who started running from Sugar House) caught up with us and we ran up to the gate just beyond campground #30 (i.e., 6.2 miles up) before turning around and beginning our descent. I kept a really conservative pace on the way down the Canyon hoping not to jar my knee too much. After returning to amphitheater parking lot, I began the long run home. The good part is that Mogli was able to pull me along to Liberty Park then I just proceeded to grind out the final miles in the early afternoon heat. I did stop at a 7-11 to refill my water bottle with refreshing cold water that really helped me survive those last two miles. In total, I was able to get in 29.3 miles at an easy pace.
In regards to my non-running workout, I was only able to get in 300 sit-ups.
