Late in the afternoon, I ran over to Big Cottonwood Park and completed seven laps around the softball complex before running up to Skyline High School.  On the school's track I completed ten laps before running down to Sugar House Park then back to home.  The total distance of this Sunday-afternoon run was 22.1 miles.

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

This morning I woke up early and ran 2.9 miles over to the 3900-South Trax Station and took the train to downtown then transferred to a bus to get to work.  Once at work, I met up with my friend Dave who is running the TOU marathon this weekend (his first marathon) for a taper run.  We were planning to just run four miles, but we ended up running 5.1 miles at a relatively relaxed 7:22 pace.  I then did a 0.3-mile cool down before heading off to work.

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

I woke up with a nice head cold this morning (i.e., it has been going around at work).  As a result, I kept the running short and easy today by just completing 4.1 on the treadmill after work.

In regards to my non-running workout, I was able to get in 300 sit-ups.

My head cold was not any better today (i.e., a killer sore throat) so it was basically a repeat of yesterday in regards to my running; that is, 4.1 miles after work on the treadmill at an easy pace.

For my non-running workout, it just consisted of just 300 sit-ups.

Good Luck to Everyone Running the TOU Marathon Today!

I went out for an early morning run this Saturday which involved running over to Big Cottonwood Park and completing four laps around the park's outer trail. Then I jogged over to the Holladay Library then Kinko's to get in a few errands before returning to home. The total distance of this workout was a relatively short 10.1 miles. I say “relatively short” because I usually run well over 15 miles on Saturday's; however, my cold seems to be turning into the dreaded flu. So I figured to keep it short and spend more time catching up on my sleep.

During Utah's route of BYU, I completed my non-running workout which consisted of just 300 sit-ups.
