Ran 30 min. Not really sure how far, it was outside and it felt pretty good.
I'll do the 2x20 SE session tonight and make another post.
On to week two tomorrow.

Was on vacation last week, so I'm going to restart Base-Building.
Ran 6 miles, 1% grade, 61:13 min on the treadmill. Before this program I was doing my "long" run of 5 miles on Monday, so I'm going to do the long E sessions on Mondays versus Saturday, as this works best for me logistically.

Did the 2x20 SE session tonight. Did the following circuit;
One hand KB swings
Push-ups
Snatches
Sit-ups
Goblet squats
Used the 35lb KB; I tried the 50lb last week, it really broke me off, so I decided to go with the 35lb'er for now
Also using Perfect Push-ups;I got these because my wrist was hurting from doing regular push-ups, but it lengthens the range of motion considerably and makes the exercise a great deal harder.
Also did 5 sets of 4 pull-ups throughout the day.

3x20 SE session this evening. It was hard, even just using the 35lb KB.
No GTG for push ups and pull-ups today.
Also, I know there are a lot of vets here on TB; Happy Veterans Day, and thank you for your service.
