I rocked the 6:30am workout today. And I ran for the first time since Kaimana! The plague is almost over!

Didn't run far though....
Warmup: 0.5 miles at 10:00/mile
"Workout": 0.7 miles at 8:30/mile
0.1 miles walk/drink
0.5 miles at 8:30/mile
0.1 miles walk/drink
0.3 miles at 8:30/mile

Lifting was fun. I've decided to increase my reps for benching, since let's face it, gigantic undefined arm muscles won't make me feel any better about my body size, and I don't need them for ultimate. So I'm effectively going for endurance on my arm muscles. Any suggestions on how many reps I should be shooting for? I still want to pyramid my sets, i.e. increase weight and decrease reps with each set -- I think that is the best possible way to continuously challenge myself and improve.

Squatted 170x6 on my final set today. Hottt. I need to focus more on my core, though, I'm worried that my back is going to fail. Planks planks planks. Plus some balancing on the ab ball.
