Great work upping the weights. Has your weight changed yet?!

I bashed out a slow 30min x-country run at lunch followed by some chins and curls (i know but vanity is what it is!)

Thanks for all the kind words of support. I think today my lack of recovery/extra training caught up with me, I felt pretty flat but got it done...
