C25K W1D3
A bit late in posting, but we are keeping on schedule with this iteration of C25K. I also used this workout to return to the deadlift; I figured that it would be easier on my knees to bend down and pick something up rather than try to squat, and the DL should be a good indicator of where I'm at so that I can start squatting again next week or the week after. As with my sprint test, the results were better than I expected.

Weight: 243
Workout:
- Part 1: C25K W1D3 - 5 min walk, 10 intervals of 30s run/2m walk
- Part 2: Deadlift - 135x10, 185x8, 235x4, 285x3, 325x2, 365x1, 400x1(FAIL)
Considering that my all-time best deadlift is 425, and this was my first time doing any heavy leg work since April of last year, I'm fairly happy with 365. It didn't feel like a max-effort lift; I think I had another 10-20 pounds in the tank, but my attempt at 400 was a complete fail.
