Congrats on the weights Ron. I've never done gym weight exercises, but they sound heavy to me anyway. And 35 minutes of intervals? That's crazy! Well done though. 
Mine was done this morning - 3.6 miles with the same timings as before - I could feel I was definitely on a faster pace than before, but it felt right. Broke the 10 min/mile pace in some places, which much better than I've been doing before. This week feels like a real step forward in running. It's good to see results.

Knocked out a 6.67 mile run yesterday after work since it cooled down somewhat- it was only 99*
The temps are climbing back up to the triple digits so I will be in the gym today after work to work on legs and core.

Well done... so where are you?
. I can barely walk between my car and the house in this heat! Nice job.CrossFit: A long workout with power cleans, press jerks, ring rows, overhead squats (finally go the balance thing down), kettlebells, 1m row, and finally as many burpees as you can to finish up a 20 min workout cap.
Unlike SW I did this a 6 in morning (still, it was 75*) and it only lasted 20 minutes.

And nothing wrong with 6am, early morning workouts are the best. It's so quiet and it's not become too hot to want to do anything. Then you feel awesome for the rest of the day too.

However, I was in Long Beach last weekend and found the humidity to be miserable and could not wait to get back to my dry heat
I really wish I could get up early enough to run in the morning before work, but it never seems to work out. Although I'm planning on a nice long run this Saturday morning after I go Salmon fishing.

Lol...thanks, but it's a dry heat up here and there was slight breeze so it wasn't that bad.

Way to go everyone! Good to see you are all overcoming the obstacles!
Missed the gym on Wednesday, had to put an alternator on the car.
Thursday was leg day, 3 sets of 6 reps.
(PB) Squats 110#
(PB) Straight Leg Deadlift 95# I can do more just afraid of injury. I'll work up slowly.
Leg extensions 110#
Seated Squats 150#
Abs Machine 120# (3 sets of 20 reps)
Elliptical - 5 min warmup before weights, 35 min HIIT after weights. (There wasn't alot of difference between the high and low, Legs were dead after the weights but I expected that.)
Hit a new low weight of 227 pounds!!!!!!!!
