Gobbla, LOL!!! Sorry for the slackin' and thanks for the ego boost. Haha!

BILL, thanks! Actually, if you check the dates, I don't run and do lower body work on the same day. Actually, at the most, I do weight training and run on the same day one time per week.

I have been keeping up my workouts and running. Running has been more difficult over the past 10 days to 2 weeks due to the onset of Summer humidity. And also, I irritated by left calf, and have been "running through" since I injured it. It doesn't seem to be getting any better, so I am going to try to rest it for 2 or 3 days and hopefully clear it up. I go through this periodically -- I think it's due to running hills. Overall, the calf pain plus humidity have taken their toll on my running paces, which has been annoying. I did manage a 12.8 mile long run on Sunday, but my average pace was 8:04, which is significantly slower than I have been doing runs of that length.

Weight training is going fairly well. I'll do a better job of logging. LOL. I experienced some backsliding during the past week on some upper body stuff -- push presses and bench presses, most notably. Last week was kind of weak in everything, I guess. I felt tired much of the time - maybe some overtraining? OTOH, I blazed through a killer lower body workout on Friday evening with improvement in both squats and deadlifts compared to the previous week.
