ElJay Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 In February of 2011, I joined a local CF box, and liked it well enough though running has always been my thing (and still is). In May I signed up for my first marathon, and then ditched CF, because it was messing with my training. I crossed the finish line, running the whole way, at the Marine Corps Marathon in October 2011, and have been working on my running speed ever since. I have my 10k goal race this weekend, and am hoping to get a serious PR.But that's not my woot.Today, I went to the area of the gym that no one ever goes...and I picked up the barbells again. It was after my usual IT Band strengthening exercises, and then my core routine (planks and the like). So, I picked a weight I could do easily for 8 reps, and added on weight for three sets. 75# for squats and 115# for deadlift in the last sets, and I have plenty of room to move up before I start hitting my 5 rep max. But damn, it felt great. Vote for me (ElJay) to win the most recently completed NF Challenge!!! STR: 6 | DEX: 7 | STA: 9 | CON: 4 | WIS: 5 | CHA: 5 Follow my current challenge here! Link to comment
