Sorry I disappeared there, i had somethings taking precedence (bum shoulder. bum knee. kids), but i am back and now for an update:
My training has switched over to its second phase, I am now lifting weights Monday and Friday, while running Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Now this may seem like a recipe for over training, but bear with me a moment. Marines, soccer players, and various other fit individuals run every day. I was finding that my jogging was slow to progress while my weight training took off. but I did notice that the progress was quicker when i ran 2 days together, hence this plan. I am now military pressing 200lbs as of last week, but my jogging is barely a mile, and whats worse is my beautiful wife has taken up jogging as well, and is moving ahead of me. Now lets take into account that i carry roughly one and a half times her weight while having tree stumps for legs while she has nice long legs, still. So i will keep you abreast of this change and let you know in the coming weeks how it fairs. till then i got some legs to look at!
