Congrats on your longer run on Sunday in the 40s with all that wind and an amazing pace! That's not easy! I'm sure you felt that run afterwards. Have a great training week!

I would someday like to go towards that route of heavy lifting - the most I've done is 60# and not very consistent with it. As far as my weekend, I ran my first race of the year - 10K on Super Bowl Sunday. Did really well and happy about my results.

I always scale down the Rx weight for class. I went to yoga three times last week too. I visited a friend in another city. Fun weekend.
