^ get better soon!

Good week for me- 35 miles (221 for the year), 8 of those miles snowshoeing the Elkhorns with my little buddy Tiny Elvis.

Got both strength training sessions in. I've settled on a modified Wendler 5/3/1. Instead of lifting three days a week, I lift two, but combine squats with bench and deadlifts with overhead press. I've also started adding a 4th set at the end- he call's it "first set last"- you take the weight of the first set (which is the lightest set) and do as as many reps as possible. I think this one additional set has helped me.

In between each of the sets of squats/bench and deadlift/overhead press- I do pullups (chin-ups on deads/press day), mtn lunges on deads/press day and dips on squats/bench day and four sets of various core exercises. So far, so good
