Weekend in review

Sat

Yoga in the AM then ran hill sprints in the afternoon. Did 8 rounds of 15s full intensity sprints for distance. The hill was a stretch of sidewalk adjacent to the Capitol building (Capitol Hill), no idea what the grade was, nothing crazy but certainly enough to deplete whatever energy source I was using in a few seconds. Rested 5+ minutes between sets, cut the last three sets down to 12s because I was hitting a wall right around 10-12 seconds. Nice to mix it up a little bit, ran the sprints with a girl from the gym who was a distance runner in college with a sub 5:00 mile in her prime. Yes I covered more distance on the sprints than her. C'mon what kind of question is that?

SS A

Back squat 270# 3x5 (PR)
Press 140# 3x5 (PR)
Deadlift 345# 1x5 (PR)

Squats were hard, haven't gotten 8+ hours of sleep in a while, need to catch up this week if I want any chance of hitting 280#. Press felt ok, definitely room to grow, 145# will be hard but I'm pretty confident I can hit 3x5. Deadlift is getting heavy, doubt I'll be able to go touch and go past 355#.
