First off- SICK.  Ughhhh.  I hate being sick.  In that "I feel like I hate it more than normal but I can't really think of anybody who _doesn't_ hate being sick" kinda way.  It just can't come at an opportune time.  I guess at the very least, Ginie's around and she's super nice and takes care of me which is really sweet.  Still, I'd rather not be sick.

Secondly- Got stronger over the weekend, and a little bit faster, maybe.  Ken's having me finish all workouts with a mile on the treadmill now, so I'm doing it in my own workouts too.  Not fun, but finishable.  Goal is going to be 7:00 at 3% grade or harder.  Haven't hit it yet, but maybe next time.  I can do it, I think.  Generally, I'm doing normal strength stuff on my upper body and dynamic/functional/power lifting with kettlebells and such on the lower body.  That stuff is fun but really hard.  I hate when my form starts to slip.  I feel it happen and it makes me frustrated, since I feel, often, like I know what it should feel like INSTEAD of how it actually feels.  Yesterday was a nice little circuit that Ken gave me, 3 rounds, moving quickly, of

10xSquat Clean/Clean and Press (45,55, 65), my squat diminished over each set, as i got tired.  Have to focus better on getting my ass down after the deadlift.
20xDB Clean (25 lb, 10 reps each arm)
20xKB Squat Clean (20 lb, 10 reps each arm)
10x upright row (45 bar, 45 plate, 45 plate) The plate added a gripping dimension to this that I liked.  Just gave me one more muscle group to work.

After this was a 1 mile run, it was 7:11 and I'll take it.  Moving up to faster next time.  My legs are handling the runs better and better each time.
