Friday Lifting to a Saturday Rest Day

I have made the ingenious move (that is sarcasm...) away from lifting on Saturdays. I was lifting on Saturdays and resting Fridays but as my Sunday training runs have gotten longer and longer, lifting Fridays and resting on Saturdays just made more sense. I tried to run over two hours after squatting one Saturday morning and it felt like my legs were made of lead.

Today we were able to get out the door with the family and four dogs and go for a hike over at Stringer's Ridge. We made it for a 2.5 mile dog walk before the freezing rain started flying. Now all of the tired dogs are crashed out around the house and we are watching college football.
