Since it was Saturday, I woke up early and jogged 3.3 miles down to the Salt Lake Running Company to meet up with the gang for a group run.  In total, we knocked out 6.5 miles at a relatively easy pace by running down to the store and completing two laps around Liberty Park before heading back.

I followed this workout up by jogging back to Liberty Park and completing another lap around the park (4.1 miles) before meeting up with one of my Fight for Air Climb teammates to head down to the IHC Hospital in Murray to run some stairs.  At the hospital, I completed three repeats of the 14 flights of the tower.  My hamstrings began to tighten up, so I took it pretty easy during this half of a mile climbing stairs. 

After I got home, I went out for one more run, this one was a 6.4 mile jaunt up to the Holladay Library and back.  This extra was not only to get in some extra miles, but also to renew some books

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

Five-Minute Plank Challenge:  2:00 (just maintaining for right now)

Thanks Burt and Allie! Looking forward into getting in a couple of nice runs this weekend; that is, should be nice running weather here in Salt Lake and probably in AZ.

By the way nice job with the Del Sol Burt! Sounds like you guys had a great time and I cannot wait until the Wasatch Back!

Happy Running!
