Notes - Good session.  I ran almost 8 miles yesterday afternoon doing Seattle 1/2 marathon training, so was not totally sure how the body would react.  I actually felt pretty good - did some lacrosse ball work in a few spots but was pretty ready to go.  I did not improve the density on the presses but felt very strong on all the reps, definitely that quality is noticeable each week.  Squeezing the shit out of the bells on the way up and down on the descent to the rack is really helping.  The bells feel "smaller" in my hands due to all of the work with the 24s over the last however many months, and probably the increased handling of the 32.  To that point I did some good work with the 1H SW on the 32, most reps every for a PR of 100 total in 10 minutes, and did hand switches every set for all 10 sets.  Very strong, really think this movement is helping several other things because that simply is just not a light weight but I am moving it around pretty well.

10/20/13 Sunday October 20, 2013 (8 miles around the lake)

4:35pm - 5:55pm - did 8 miles around the lake (80 minutes of running) for 1/2 marathon training.  Did a lot of warm up, stretching, lots of lacrosse ball work on my right hip, calf, foot, other parts.  Seemed to help quite a bit as I got through the run pretty strongly.  Will keep watching this closely.  Not really something I set out to do but the goal of running a race again is not a terrible one, I just need to watch the body's response to the miles very, very closely.  I won't be making a habit of doing 1/2 marathons again on a regular basis, I am certain of that.
