I think I could have been slightly faster today but I was very close to the limit, and sufficiently happy with the result.
Hot by my standards, a bit humid but the air felt clear and breathing felt relatively easy.

Running 05-Sep-2014
Not pleased. Legs are aching, it is hot etc. but regardless this pace should not have felt this hard to keep up.

Bench 03-Sep-2014
Bench 3 x 20 1st set 40kg other 2 45kg
Standing shoulder press with plates 15, 10, 15 with 10kg plates. Not sure what happened on the 2nd set, just wasn't there.
Slight bent over shoulder raises 3 x 15 x 5kg a side
Legs were still killing me this morning so was dreading the run. A flambé truck causing me to arrive at work over an hour late removed that worry and my lunch hour.

90% Intervals 02-Sep-2014
Fell foul of the fact my GPS tracker has a phone app on it. Got a call just before the last interval was about to start and had to walk.
The session was hard going and just felt harder the further through I got. Really need to get back into these.
Stats mean even less than normal as the last few minutes will have been walking
3.27 miles in 32:52 average speed 6mph

Running 01-Sep-2014
For reasons I don't fully understand the distance I ran today showed as quite a bit higher than normal, despite me doing the same route as normal. The joy of GPS.
Makes the pace a bit strange too. I thought this would be better but after a week off doing destroy it yourself at home and enjoying time with my family, this is not a bad return.
