    Happy Monday!!

    Cardio: ran 10k (6.2 miles). New personal record of 1 hour, 13 minutes. Running buddy skipped run due to weather, which gave me the chance to work on my pace and form.

    Food: a little too much junk.

    Yes! I'm amazed at how good my endurance is! Really, it's why I'm loving the running. I had no idea I could have this kind of endurance. So much for asthma being an excuse, lol.

    Tuesday!

    Strength Training.

    Took 2 weeks off from this (1 for sickness, other for laziness). Glad to be back. Deloaded slightly.

    StrongLifts 5x5:

    Squat: 85lb

    Bench Press: 70lb

    Barbell Row: 85lb

    Food: on target

    I don't know that I enjoy it as much as I've come to enjoy the mental challenge of running. There's a need to push myself that is similar to how I have to push myself in team sports, when it's late in the game, and I'm exhausted. Well, I do find trail running with my friend fun, heh.

    Speaking of...

    Wendesday!

    Cardio: 5.6 miles of muddy trail running/walking. So much rain these past couple days, so lots of mud. FUN.

    Food: on target.

    Happy Weekend, all!


    Saturday: rest day.

    Sunday: Strength Training: Strong lifts 5x5

    Squat: 90lb

    OHP: 55lb

    Deadlift: 145lb

    Also, 1x100sec plank, 1x10 push ups.

    At this point with the program, I'm only progressing weight weekly. I can no longer handle adding 5 or even 2.5lb per workout. But, I think adding for the week will keep me progressing. Squats today at 90lb felt easier than Tuesday (day 1 of the week), so it feels like progress.

    Food: on target.

    Like just about anything, progression slows. At that point, look more to the quality of work.
