Following a fun drive with my father up to the Portland Airport to catch a flight back home to Salt Lake City, I went out for a late evening run.  I kept this run short since I was feeling the need to get some sleep.  As a result, I jogged up to Saint Mark's and circled around the block to 4500 South and back.  The total distance of this run was just 2.7 miles.

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

Happy Labor Day!  Getting ready to go back to work after seven days entailed that it was going to be an extremely busy day.  As a result, I kept my run short for the second day on a row.  For this run, I jogged up to OfficeMax to run an errand and back for a total distance of 4.2 miles at an easy pace.

Beside a 5.2-mile bike ride to Kinko's and back to run another errand, my daily non-running workout consisted of 300 sit-ups.

Still feeling sluggish from a little sleep deprivation, but I was able to get in some relatively (compared to the last few days) solid mileage today.  In short, after work, I jumped on treadmill and knocked out a 10k.

In regards to my daily non-running workout, I was able to get 60 (50 lbs) curls and 300 sit-ups.

Starting to get back into my running groove, I hit the streets early this morning and ran 2.9 to the 3900 South Trax Station to catch the train then the bus to work.  It was a great workout with my 15 lbs backpack.  Once I got to the office, since I was already in my running cloths, I hit the treadmill for 8.2 miles before cleaning up then heading off to work.

This morning down 4500 South to the Jordan River Parkway trail where I took advantage of a teaser run hosted by the Salt Lake Running Company.  I ran to trail's south end about a mile or so after Gardner's Village before heading back.  In total, I was able to get in an even 20.0 miles at an easy pace.
