I think we're north-er than I thought, because it's already getting dark out early. Not a big fan. By the time I hit my turnaround point it was pretty darn dark out.
I don't know if it's the genius plan I'm following, or the running music I'm road testing, or maybe a combo platter of the above, but I've somehow knocked a good minute off my mile times.Seriously.
According to Nike+, my pace was hovering a little under 10 minute miles, which is pretty much unheard of for me in recent months. Pretty sweet. I'm pleased as punch.
Weights was:
Bench Press 3 sets of 5 reps @ 135, 155 and 185 pounds.
Pull-Downs 3 sets of 5 reps @ high weight
Still Dips 3 sets of 5 reps
Still working up to pull-ups, so it's pull-downs for now. Also, the still dips were still not as deep as they really should be, but I'm working up to it.

Ya, ick, I've noticed that it's starting to get dark earlier again. I am NOT a fan either.
Keep on Bloggin' and Runnin'
You never mentioned other forms of exercise ;). I stick to running and swimming keeps me leaner, pumping iron would slow me down!
Nice blog BTW, really enjoyed it :)

Hey there! Nice blog, by the way, and good luck at the Skyline to the Sea 50k!

After about 5 years or so of trying to get leaner, I've decided to embrace my genes and neanderthal-like build. I did all strength training and no endurance when I was younger (and then only running and high-rep-low-weight lifting in recent years), so I think this present running + strength training is the way for me to go. Right now anyway.
I'd love to swim again. The pool I had access to in San Diego was all floating band-aids and dead bugs, which turned me off. No thanks. Maybe there are better options here in San Francisco.
Nice stuff on FuelMyBlog, by the way. Nice work!
