Chest, biceps and 8k run
Tomorrow's a rest day. Because I fucking earned it.
Bench press

My left bicep is still a bit painful when I use substantial weight, but light weight/high reps don't seem to cause any problems.
Dumbbell curls
20s x 30, 30 each arm
Machine preacher curls
37.5lb x 15, 15, 15
======
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.
