Week 5
I am getting stronger. I am now curling 20 lb dumbells and pressing 85 lbs unassisted. I can take 35 lb dumbells and do 12 reps of dumbell bench presses with those.

Wed - ran 3 miles
Thurs - ran 3 miles
Friday - circuit weights
Saturday - 5 miles
On Saturday morning, Elia and I met with our friend J and her friend M and we ran 5 miles for the first time. We did it by running 8 minutes and walking 2 minutes, and continued to alternate run/walk until we were done. We also stopped for water and for stretching. All told the 5 miles took us about 70 minutes due to all the walking and the stretch break. But it was an enjoyable run and that’s what counts. It was E’s first time ever running 5 miles.
