I ran the 8k route for the Great Ride 'n' Stride cancer fundraiser to finish off my training. (Actually, my slow bike ride home finished me off.) There was a 3.5k route, too, but I figured running 8k today will make my 5k race in two weeks feel like a breeze. I didn't time myself, but I gave it my all.

Great day's exercise.

Shoulders, traps and triceps

I usually start shoulder day with some mid-weight/medium-rep squats, but not today. My quads and hams don't have any doms, following yesterday's PT session with Ben, but they do feel fatigued (exacerbated by my bike ride to the gym). However, my glutes are toast. I did a few warm up reps with an empty bar, but it was so painful I had to stop. My arse hurts!
