2 minute jog, then a quick 2.01 miler in 16:41. Surprisingly, my second mile was faster than my first. That never happens.....I would still like to get back to my sub 15 minute two milers like when I was in the Army.

I'm foregoing deload week again. Not sure if it's really beneficial. I might be looking into trying Stronglifts 5x5 after this next Wendler cycle......I've made a lot of progress(I think) but want to add some more dimension.
