This morning, I woke up and rode my bike down the Salt Lake Running Company to reunite with the gang for a group run. Due to the number of races and vacations, they actually canceled our Saturday morning group run through the summer; however, they decided to host one this weekend so it was great to be back. For this run, we ran up to Sugar House Park and completed one lap around the outer path and one lap around the inner lap before returning to the store. The total distance was 6.4 miles at a good pace considering it was close to hundred degrees. In short, it was great to catch up with Katie (our group leader) and the rest of the runners.
I followed this run up by biking up to the Hogle Zoo where I ditched my bike and ran nearly five miles up Emigration Canyon to a Greenhouse at 6181 East then I headed back down and followed the Des News Course all the way to around Wasatch Drive and Foothill Boulevard to Sunny Side Avenue where I cut back up to the Zoo. The total distance of this run was 15.4 miles at an 8:11 pace in the heat (well over a hundred degrees).
In addition to my 16.0-mile bike ride up to the zoo and back, I was able to complete 300 sit-ups for my daily non-running workout.
