Run Forest, Ruuuunnnn

so the 5K on Saturday went as well as I expected.  Managed roughly 10min miles to finish in 33:10.  They started it a little after 9:00am and it was allready too bloody hot to be running.  I took off with a buddy that is in far better running shape than me.  I was running at about 175bpms before I realized it and backed off.  Never could get my HR back under 165.  Heat sux.  Oh well, it was a fun training run.  It's a bit depressing that it takes nothing more than a local 5K in Snyder to let me know how slow I am.
Monday was rushed and boring military press workout.  Got through it, that's about it.
Yesterday I did nothing.
This mornig I did a 1.5 hour run.  I was going for an 1:10, but I bought that Mumford and Sons album and ended up listening to the whole thing twice through.  Great album, by the way.  I've a feeling the heavy squats this evening are going to be pretty unforgiving.  My legs are already screaming at me.

That is a good album. Good lyrics. i'm s'posed to to shoulders today. But i think i'm on decompression week here, so it shouldn't be too bad. And an hour and a half run ain't bad. Do that a few times, and those hour runs'll start to feel easy. Then you can ramp the HR up without dying. Strong work.
