 --

  Lift felt good this morning, especially the Sumo Deadlifts once I was warmed up.  I don't think I've ever pulled 315# Sumo before, and I'm pretty sure I could have handled more reps, but the ham raises on the GHD were harder than expected.  I stole the DL/Hang Clean/Push Press circuit from a buddy, and it was a smoker.  The push presses were the most difficult part, probably because of the squats yesterday.  I shouldn't have had an issue with that weight.

  Initially didn't want to push the run all that hard, but after chasing down a few people I knew on the route, just decided to finish strong.  Didn't bring my watch with me, but it felt like miles were in the 6:10-6:20 range.
