    Happy Friday all!

    Cardio: Yesterday I pretty much took a rest day but did swim for about 35 minutes. Today I ran 2.1 miles and then tomorrow I'll go in to the gym for a lot of stretching and some arm work before my 5K Sunday. Ran the first mile slow today then pushed a little on the second mile to see what kind of race pace I think I can do and ended up running my fasted mile yet............still slow, but better. ;)

    Assessment: Doing ok and getting a little extra protein in but eating out today and I'm thinking I might need a hamburger and sweet potato fries...........hmmmm, we'll see!

    Have a great weekend and have a great vacation Niner!

    @ninerbuff so glad you had a great time!

    I ended up taking yesterday off from gym and running because of my 5K today. My hamstrings were still sore yesterday from Wednesday's workout and I figured I better not chance making them worse. I did swim for about 35 minutes yesterday afternoon.

    Cardio: Today was my first 5K. I'm pretty slow.............42:22 but ran my first mile in 13:30 so there's hope yet. It was really fun and I ran with my SIL, although I did manage to pass her and came in about 5 or 6 minutes ahead of her. I also met a friend in person from MFP @shanaber (that's the two of us in my profile pic). She was running the 10K with her daughter and niece but we hung out for a little while before the race started. So cool to meet another MFPer.

    Strength: Tomorrow...........really need to get back, haven't been to the gym since Wed.........yikes!

    Assessment: Doing good nutrition-wise, calories and macros are okay for now. Back down to my low...........which isn't all that low but I'll take it. Told my husband I might want to lose another 5 to 10 lbs over the next year and he said............no way...........I don't like skinny girls......LOL

    Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!

    Good Afternoon and Happy Thursday!!! :)

    Strength: P90X Legs and Back Done!

    @MJFSH just had pot roast dinner tonight here too.........so yummy!

    Cardio: 2.46 mile run in 82 degree heat this evening. I normally run in the mornings when it's about 70 degrees or so so this was a challenge but I did it. Slightly slower than normal but it really wasn't as bad as I was expecting. Walked about .33 for a cool down.

    Strength: Tomorrow

    Assessment: Low on protein today but I'll try harder tomorrow.

    TGIf guys! Had a great workout this morning!

    Cardio: Nope

    Strength: 30 min warmup followed by:

    3X5 Dead lifts w/115/135/145 lbs
    3X10 bent over rows w/75
    3X10 bench press w/65 lbs
    2X10 pushups

    3X10 leg curl w/50
    3X10 leg extension w/50
    3X10 outer thigh w/70
    3X10 wood chop w/30
    3X10 cable cross fly w/10

    Assessment: Today should be much better protein wise.........even put a little left over pot roast in with my egg whites.......yummy. Planning on at least a 3.5 mil run tomorrow morning and then a rest day on Sunday........ended up going 7 days straight between weights and running so I think my body needs a break after tomorrow's run.

    Have a great weekend!

    Took a rest day yesterday but did put in a 35 min swim...........all backstroke so pretty relaxing really.

    Yes the weather makes a big difference. I went out one night last week and ran in 82 degree weather and while it wasn't too awful and no humidity, it was still more difficult than a cool morning.

    Good job on the miles!
