This Saturday morning, I woke up to a sore lower-hamstring/back-of-right-knee. However, as I jogged 3.4 miles down to the Salt Lake Running Company to meet up with the gang for a group run, the soreness did not get worst and even subsided. Chris, who is faster than fast, was back with the group and we knocked out a 9.1-mile tempo run down to Liberty Park where we completed one lap then headed up to Sugar House Park where he completed another lap before heading back to the store. We completed this run at 6:57 pace (Chris was absolutely holding back) with the following splits: 7:08, 7:02, 6:51, 7:01, 7:19, 7:27, 7:07, 6:38, 6:14, and 0:35.
After picking up a pair of the NB Minimus trail running shoes (I cannot wait until my knee feels good enough to try these out) and a new pair of Adidas Sequence shoes, I jogged 3.4 miles back to home where I spent the afternoon studying for the CFA. After catching the second half of the BYU-Gonzaga game, I jogged up to Saint Mark’s Hospital and returned by way of Big Cottonwood Park. The total distance of this run was 2.2 miles at an easy pace.
In regards to my non-running workout, I completed 300 sit-ups.
Five-Minute Plank Challenge: 2:00
Trying-To-Go-Out-Of-My-Way-To-Eat-Healthy Challenge: just my normal, not-too-good-for-you food (need to work on this).
