I need to level up!

Sat, Aug 9-did precisely what I did yesterday.... I need to level up!

Fri, Aug 8-Went to the Somerset Y with V and did: 9:00 mile warmup on treadmill, stretched for a few minutes and did my go-to meniscus-strengthening exercise, hopped back on the treadmill for an 8:30 mile, scampered over to the barbells and lat pull for some arm work, then strolled back to the treadmill for an 8:00 mile (7:57), and then finished up on the fly and hamstring machines
