 Another week in the books! I want to try and make this a bit more interesting, not that anyone reads this, but I have yet to figure that out! So once again I'll go day by day...or something like that.  Monday/Friday - These are weightlifting days and this new training is taxing me a bit more than the last one was.

Which was surprising.  I think the colder weather might have had something to do with that. We'll see how this weeks outdoor run goes.  It was a whopping 2.4 miles outside! Thursday - Run wor...
