Strength Training #5 and Running Session #5

Today will be a double post, since I was bad and didn't post yesterday. We'll start with the weight lifting:

3x5 Squat: 115lbs
3x5 Bench Press: 85lbs
1x5 Deadlift: 165lbs
15 NS crunches

I almost gave up on the crunches again because it hurt my sore abs, but after the first 3-5 the pain was nearly gone and I got the other 10 or so done. The deadlift was still a bitch as was the bench press, but I'm handling the additional weight well. I was worried about the lifting since I had bloodwork and my left arm was a bit shaky but I didn't have a problem. I also squated deeper this time and now my ass is a bit sore (cue sexual jokes).

As for the running I'm on Day 2 of Week 2 and it went well. It was a bit cold and wet but it didn't notice except the one time I went through a puddle. I thought I had it cleared but alas, no. I forgot my frakking water bottle four minutes into the warm up and had to go all the way back home. I really need to work on my memory. I'm also using less water on the actual run. Before I'd consume the whole bottle by the time I got back home, now it's only three-quarters of it. Hooray for improvements!

Tomorrow is my off-day, so no post then.
