3/2 for 9 miles. First 3 in 26:25, first 6 in 55:00 (including walking the last two minutes), whole 9 miles in 84:45. Although here and there, ran beyond the three minutes. But definitely getting a bit better. Came just a bit short of one light short of half mile mark for first 3 minutes. Big pr's. 12s at 3 miles, 45s at 6 miles. 2 minutes at 9. Mainly have increased stamina to keep going. Maybe I'll go ahead and add that tenth mile now.

Then partial one legged squats. 55 each leg. Right leg felt pretty damm weak today. Knee had been hurting beforehand for no known reason.

And then weightlifting. Blah. Up to 13 reps for behind the neck press of 70 piddly pounds. And so on. Who cares. Oh, added close grip benches and pulldowns. So far haven't had any insomnia from the weightlifting. The lack of caffeine may be helping in that dept.

Haven't had a blueberry smoothie in a long time. Also doing quite bad on green vegetables. And flax meal for that matter. Have been using the rice cooker to cook rice and the crock pot to make beans. And drinking beer.

One nice recipe: package of black eyed beans, one tomato, half an onion, spoon of curry, some garlic, spoon of salt, some lemon juice, handful of cashews in the crockpot overnight. Eaten with rice from rice cooker. Trying to mix it up though. Different bean stew concoctions each time. That was my favorite one so far though. Such a cheap and easy way to eat. What held me back all those years?????
