What Do I Do?

I'm looking for some input for what to do for my workout tonight. I'm torn between running and lifting, and I can't decide which I want to do. This will be session 36 of SL5x5, or it would be my 2nd run this week. I've got 2 marathons in the fall, so I feel like I should at least be running 20 miles/week to somewhat maintain endurance. I'll list the reasons for my dilemma below.

PROS:
Lifting: I'll be squatting 4 plates for my work sets, so that will be fairly easy to set up and a huge confidence boost
Running: I'll be getting closer to hitting my monthly 84 mile goal / keeping my running endurance up

CONS:
Lifting: Deadlifts. I don't really like them
Running: I ran on Monday, but haven't lifted since Sunday. I feel like it's lifting's turn. Plus I forgot my headphones

So MFP, what will it be? Cardio or lifting? (Both is not an option)

If I have a choice, I always take lifting over cardio.

Lift.

Running, have you a lifting date, some competition you've entered? No, so stick with the running.

DON'T LIKE DEADLIFTS? :huh:

Yeah, my vote is lifting. :laugh:

Seems like the consensus is lifting. Guess I'll just do a few extra miles for my long run on Saturday!

Legs and back, you've been warned...
