Just really heavy legs today; that is, the interval workout, stair workout, and 5k that I did over the last 3 days sucked the life out of my legs. However, I still got my run on. I ran over to Big Cottonwood Park and completed one lap around the softball complex before heading up to Olympus High School. Have not been in this part of town since the fall so I wanted to see how the track looked. Okay, what the heck!!! I really hate those artificial turf football fields because the lock down the track. Oly is my track. We always ran it during my Evergreen years (even during the summers) and I always enjoyed returning as a Farmer (it was a much better track than what Granite had). I like the 8 lanes of the new track and the field looks like a college field, but what is the point if no one can use it? The new West High track is great and open for others to use because it does not circle a pristine artificial field. The new artificial turf looks great, but whatever was wrong with playing on real grass? Anyway, after checking out all of the construction, I ran through Holladay on the Salt Lake Marathon course before heading back to home. I was able to get in 10.2 miles at a slow pace, but for the second half my legs started to feel much better.
My non-running workout consisted of 300 sit-ups while watching the political news.
