Ran 7 miles on the treadmill after work. The first 3 miles were rough, then as I loosened up it got easier.

Lifted a few weights, mostly inclined bench dumbells. Worked my way up from 20 - 50 pounds each, with reps of 5 each. I managed one rep of the 50s. (I hope to look back at this in a few months and see some massive improvement). Going to make weights a regular part of my workouts going forward (I hope).

4.5 warmup miles in the VFFs (first run in them in a while). Started to feel a little pain on the top of my right foot, so I switched to my Speedstars, and the pain went away.

Progressively increased the speed on the treadmill. Finished the last 2 laps at 9.0 mph, and 10mph.

HR 150 when finished. Was back to 100 within 2 minutes.

Then lifted some weights for chest (managed to do 4 sets of 110lbs x 5 reps(I used to bench 200 without any problems) and biceps (I have pool party on Saturday..I hope I'm buff by then! :)
