NSV! Distance PR!
NSV!! Distance PR! I jogged EIGHT miles without walking!!! 85 minutes. The most I've ever done prior to this was a 10K race three years ago. For those working on c25K, I started there, too.

This year I'm going to tackle homemade cinnamon rolls. (Rising dough. YIKES!!! I've never tried anything with rising dough…

You know you chose the right trainer when...
I started working with a trainer, specifically to prepare me for my first powerlifting meet. I was apprehensive, having heard so many horror stories on here about bad trainers. Here's the things so far that have shown me I chose the right one: 1. When I told him I HATE preacher curls, he said, "Good. Glad I put them in…

Wendler's 5/3/1 question
Just did my first day on the Wendler's 5/3/1 program. I went through the deadlift session. I did the program deads, then one assistance move, Joker Sets, and then it kicked me out for the day. It only took me about 15 minutes to do the whole thing. Is this right?!?
