After a much need night of catching up on me sleep debt (I needed this to keep on track with my 2011 goal of getting more quality sleep), I jogged 1.5 miles over to Big Cottonwood Park and back in the morning snow. I just decided to defer the bulk of my running until later in the day when the streets would be plowed. As a result, I went on an easy-pace, mid-afternoon, 17.3-mile run to the downtown Library and back in order to pick up some books that I had on hold.

While watching news covering the terrible shooting incident involving Arizona congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords (way too many of these random senseless acts of violence; my prayers are with the families of the victims), I completed my non-running workout of 300 sit-ups, 30 push-ups, and a 100 second wall-sit.

5-minute Plank Challenge: 2:10 and 1:00 side planks both left and right

Trying-To-Go-Out-Of-My-Way-To-Eat-Healthy Daily Challenge: banana, bowl of whole-wheat rice, and a serving of peas.

I have been going out of my way to eat everything in sight, it is time to stop!!!

Nice workout. Did you just run with a backpack?

Nice Kelli and I like that diet! On the way back, around Liberty Park, I was thinking that I should have brought a backpack because some of the books were a little bit bigger than I thought they would be. However, as you may remember from a previous blog posting, I run home from the store with a gallon of milk on a regular basis, so this was not bad. By the way, nice 20.5-miler on Saturday and you should have joined the gang out at the Oval. I hope the back is feeling better!

But the grocery store is much closer than the library!!! How many books were you carrying?

The oval is great when the weather is crappy, but a long run in circles just did not sound fun. I would rather run on a treadmill that around and around the track. Of course, the company would have been nice!

Kelli, me toting three books home from the library pales in comparison to your gym workout on Tuesday. Great workout and a 3:30 plank is awesome!

Maybe I will start carrying books or gallons of milk while I run on the treadmill?!?

That would be the ultimate workout Kelli, LOL!

And people might point and stare.
