ran 4 miles in 30:01. proud of myself. 2.2 more miles to add on at this pace by thanksgiving.

I did a 5k today, even though I haven't been really training. I had to take two walk breaks (about a minute each) after running up some brutal hills. I didn't time myself, but I did see a split at about 2 miles and the finish line (1.1 miles approx?) of about 8.5 minutes.

I was pretty happy with it overall, and it was a lot of fun. I need to stop making excuses for running and just do it.

Looks good.

As an aside, check out all the negative feedback he's getting in the comments.

was all excited for deadlifts at 235 today because it's two 45-plates on each side, and that looks bad ass. on the 4th pull something bad happened to my lower back and now i can't get out of bed without biting my pillow

don't want to further rain on your parade but 2 45s on each side is 225...

Tried some squats with no weight today to test my knee; it felt totally fine when I was squatting but then hurt afterward around the knee cap, so I'm back to laying off it. This f**king sucks so bad, I just want to squat heavy. I guess I'll take some of my own advice and just try to work on stretching.

ran 10k today on treadmill in preparation for 10k on thanksgiving: 52:19

My goal is under 50 minutes, so I think I am good to go. I ran 7 MPH for the first 4.75 miles, 7.5 for the next half mile, and finished the last .95 miles at 8mph (which is the pace I HOPE to run the real thing at.)

I felt like I could have pushed myself a bit more, but I had a real tough day yesterday doing a circuit of high rep deadlifts/bench/weighted situp thingies and quarter mile sprints. I just kind of wanted to take it a bit easy and see how much I needed to improve.

Also, I have come to the conclusion that running long and slow can't possibly be good for you. My knee started hurting, my left foot hurt, my back tightened for a while, and i got a damn rash on my inner thigh. I get none of this on 3-4 mile higher intensity runs.
