This morning, I drove back from Las Vegas with my Ragnar friends Sarah and Darrell.  Even though I think all of us were completely zonked, it was a fun ride back and overall a great weekend.  After doing some chores around the house, it got pretty late, pretty fast.  Consequently, I ran over to Smith's to pick up some groceries then I ran over to the Cottonwood Country Club and back for a total distance of 7.8 miles at an easy pace.

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

Following a long and fun weekend, it was back to work today.  I touched base with Dave this morning an knocked out 2.2 miles on the treadmill,  Then after work, I  revisited the treadmill and completed another 4.2 miles before calling it a day.

My non-running workout consisted of another day of 300 sit-ups.

After work, I hit the treadmill and was able to get in 4.4 miles at an easy pace before calling it day.  Legs are still a little heavy from this weekend's Ragnar and I am still getting caught up on my sleep.

After I got home from work, I headed out for an evening run over to the Cottonwood Country Club and back taking a longer than usual route through Big Cottonwood Park for a total distance of 7.5 miles.  During my entire run, my legs just felt heavy and I thought about turning around several times; however, I did not back down and finished out the run.

I was finally able to get in an interval workout today!  I was sort of dreading it, but--as always--once I got going my legs felt much less heavier.  In short, I was able to knock out 6.0 miles of half-mile intervals (the fast halves being at 11.2 mph while the slow halves being at a speed of 9.2 mph) on the treadmill in a time of 35:16.  I then did a cool down at marathon pace and finished my 10k workout in a time of 36:30.  Overall, I did not feel great, but it felt good.

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

This morning I woke up early and headed out to run with the Salt Lake Running Company Group.  After I jogged 3.35 miles down to the store, running with Rob and Zach, we ran down to Liberty Park and completed two laps around the park  before heading back to the store.  The total distance of this run was 6.5 miles.  I then jogged 3.35 miles home and ate a good breakfast.  In the evening I went out for another run to get in some miles.  For this run, I ran an even 7.0 miles at an easy pace over to the Cottonwood Country Club and back by way of Big Cottonwood Park.

In regards to my non-running workout, I was able to complete my routine of 300 sit-ups.
