    Thanks. I recorded my fastest mile last night - 8min 20sec. It's been interesting to me exploring running. I don't consider myself enthusiastic (still think strength training is more "fun"), but it has been an enjoyable add to my fitness. I definitely feel better since I started running.

    You can puts your weights up if you prefer. I don't emphasize it as much since personally I don't since intensity of how an exercise feels is more important. Sometimes I feel stronger, somedays I don't.
    But if you do you can do it like this.

    Curls 30lbs 3x10: so that's 30lbs for 3 sets of 10 repetitions

    Now if you progressively increase the weight each set, you can do it like:

    30, 35, 40lbs 3x10 and I would understand it.

    Happy weekend!

    Happy birthday to your mom, Niner!

    Congrats on that run, goldmoonjd! The Neon Splash was like that...walkers up front and organizers did not do a good job of reminding them to stay back. But, it also wasn't a timed run.

    Saturday: Cardio: 1 mile run. 9:53.

    Sunday: light strength training and 2 softball games.

    3x10 full pushups.
    3x20 scissor kicks, 3x15 leg raises.
