    Ran last night after work and it was a hard and miserable 5 miles. It was 20 degrees F hotter than I'm used to since I switched my runs to before work, and plus the sun was evil, LOL. I tried to slow my pace to compensate, but kept speeding up. I'm supposed to be in class today, but I'm playing hooky to spend time with hubby since it's his day off.

    I've always been interested in crossfit, but the cost seems like a lot and I can't justify it yet until I find my grownup job.

    Good morning cool kids.

    Went for a beautiful 4 mile walk last evening as the weather has been GORgeous! This morning, got up and instead of coming in to work, I headed to Wednesday morning yoga class, then came in to work. It's my birthday and I am making the most of it. :)

    Happy Birthday!!!!

    Acute bronchitis has me down for the count for a few days. I'm not very happy about this. I don't actually get sick, let alone this sick! The last time I had to take antibiotics was over ten years ago when I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed. And I've never had to take a steroid. It's going to be a long week!

    Last night was deadlift night, my fav. I finally got the okay to get back to deadlifting last week (after injuring my shoulder while being stupid doing snatches). This week I decided to max out, because why not. At 100kg I switched to singles, got 105, 110, 113,115,118, and ended at 120. That last one was a bit of a grind but no hitch. Pretty sure it would be 3 white lights.

    Next Monday is my last deadlift day before the meet on the 30th. I'll try for 122kb (268lbs) on Monday night and see how it goes. (the meet is deadlift only, that's good because my bench is poverty level) I think this meet might actually be non-sanctioned...I'm unclear on the details. It's like a add-on event to Caffeine and Kilos. Whatever, I just need to dip my toes in the water again.

    I need to hit 125kg by the end of this year, so now that I can lift again I've got to get going on this.

    Men should wear booty shorts more often imo. :)

    Hi Kids,

    Rest day today. My first Saturday training break in months and I almost don't know what to do with all the free time, lol.

    Looking forward to a local 5k race tomorrow. It will be the first one I've run in over a year. I'm hoping for some improvement over last year's finishing time. It will be hot at the 1pm start. Forecast calls for temps around 90. My only real concern is deciding whether to wear my running shorts, or the spandex "booty shorts" I wear as part of my tri kit. ;)

    Stay Cool.
