After getting a great night of sleep at the Westgate Resort in Park City (I needed this so bad after being sleep deprived from the Wasatch-Back), I headed out a little after 5:00 am for a run around town.  When I started, the rain was pouring.  However, as the sun came up the rain let up and the mountains were just covered in a cool looking mist.  As I ran along the bike paths and through various Park City neighborhoods to the high school and back, I just kept it at a recovery pace and enjoyed the peacefulness.  It was a great 12.1 mile run.

I followed up this workout when I got back home with an evening run over to Big Cottonwood Park where I completed three laps around the softball complex before heading back.  The total distance of this run was an even 2.0 miles at an easy pace.

In the weight room of the Westgate, to was able to get in my daily non-running workout consisted of 300 sit-ups, 200 (20, 24 lbs) curls, 20 (50 lbs) bench-presses.

It was an extremely busy day at work, thus I did not get my run on until early in the evening.  For this run, I hit the treadmill and was able to get in 3.2 miles at a really slow pace.

For my daily non-running workout, I was able to complete 300 sit-ups.

Following a busy week at work, I hit the treadmill for a 10k at a relatively easy pace before calling it a day.  I’m looking forward to getting out on the Des-News course and getting in some serious hill workouts this weekend.

This morning I biked up to the Hogle Zoo to finally begin my Des-News Marathon training.  Now that the Wasatch Back is over (what a great race), I can finally start to really focus on my favorite marathon.  Starting at the 15.6 mile mark on the course (i.e., just above the Zoo), I ran the course to Liberty Park (i.e., Crest View, Wasatch, University, South Temple, 300 East, and 800 South).  I accomplished this 10.6 miles run at a 7:12 pace which is not too bad (felt pretty relaxed the entire way).  I then did the tough part of running the 3.4 miles back up to the Zoo to get me bike. 

After running a few errands during the day, I got out for a nice evening run in my NB Ninimus trail shoes where I completed four and a half laps (6.2 miles) around the park’s dirt trail at an easy pace (8:08 minutes per mile) before calling it day.   

Besides a 16-mile bike ride, I was also able to get in 300 sit-ups.
