    Week 3 Day 7: Felt good going into my run but my ankles and calves were stiff and had to relax until the stiffness went away. Run was slightly difficult and became easier as the run went on. Ratcheted up the pace slightly. Ran 3.82 miles in 67 minutes. Lat pull downs 5x8 @170lbs, 2x8 @180lbs. Felt strong on the pulls again today.

    Week 3 recap:
    Ran 18.69 miles over 5 training sessions.
    Did 3 days of lat pulldowns and 2 days of barbell shoulder press.
    Kept largely within caloric parameters. Exercise derailed a little and weight went up slightly but it all seems within tolerance. :)

    @MaggieGirl135 - Thanks! Hope your workouts are going well. :)

    Week 4 Day 5: Back was not feeling great and I was hunched over most of the morning. Decided to give it one more day of recovery before getting back on the horse. No workout today. Back tomorrow.

    Thanks for the updates! I'm just another one cheering you on from the sidelines.

    Also, good job listening to your body. Sometimes stopping to rest can be the hardest part of this journey.
