Tonight I hit the treadmill. I wanted to get some weights lifted as well as get some miles in so the gym seemed like the easiest place to accomplish that. The weather outside looked simply ideal while I was driving to the gym. 

 The treadmill felt pretty good though it helped me set a pretty quick pace which is nice for me. When I try to pace myself outside I usually run to fast and burnout. It helps me to feel what my limits are when I do it on the treadmill. Hopefully I can start to translate those speeds to the out of doors before too long.

 The weight lifting was really good, I am focusing on higher reps and lowering the weight to about 80% of my 1 rep max. I usually lift pretty heavy but and trying to drop some weight, hence the higher reps and limited rest between sets.

For those of you who don't know Enoch, he is wicked strong. His 80% of 1 rep max is probably about 150 lbs heavier than the heaviest weight you could ever imagine lifting. I know it is true for me, and I consider myself pretty strong (I am a wiry rock climber, you know). HA.

Way to push the miles a little more Enoch.

HA HA, I am not that strong.

I am thinking about a longer day on Saturday. I am not really sure how far I should shoot for though?

I think you should shoot for around 6 miles. You definitely have that in you.
