The last few days I've been feeling more like joining <--- my boy George here than hitting the road and the gym. But today I finally was able to get back in it and get the blood flowing.As mentioned previously, I had fallen off track quite a bit. Today I was committed to halting my progress down the slippery slope. I've written off Saturday's run & circuit training, Sunday's long run, and Tuesday's run and weights; I've decided to consolidate the squats, lunges and deadlift into Friday's workout, and do upper body stuff today. Missing so many runs, I settled on doing 4 miles today and tomorrow, 3 on Saturday and then 6 miles on Sunday. Maybe I'll do 7, to make up for the 7 miler I missed this past Sunday.
Run went well—got a little hot at the end, but it was good. Weights was a very modest 3 sets of bench, 5 reps @ 155lbs; 3 sets of 5 reps pulldowns @ heavy weight; 3 sets of still-half-assed dips. The dips are getting better, but they're still not on the money.
I think to push myself down the road I'm going to need a partner/spotter. I always used to lift with @LosBee, and it's nice to have someone watching you when you heft a large amount of weight. With her schedule now, it'll be rough to find a time when we can both hit the gym together.
We shall see.
Anybody running the Nike+ Human Race? Hit me up—I'll be running it down in San Diego.

Awwww. Cute kitty!
You have to admit, it does look like he's got life all figured out.
That's my boy.
You might be right--he's fed, petted, has more toys than he wants. I keep telling him he's gotta get a job and start contributing, but you know how kids are these days.
Hahahaha, I can relate to that sentiment. George is just conserving energy for later, eh?! ;-)
(He's really adorable! Great photo.)
