Training - current state of play

I've been running quite a lot recently. One long run per week along a track that takes me an hour and a half to run. I've no idea the actual distance and I will admit to finding excuses not to measure it, in case it's not as long as I hope. I also do a shorter run at about 5k - the idea being that I really need to work on my pace. I can manage all of this fine so long as I don't try and train my legs, which is difficult as I've been enjoying some dead lifting recently.

I am also managing to get between 1 and 2 yoga sessions a week. I really feel they've worked well on my legendary lack of flexibility. I am now merely in the "very poor for his age range section" as opposed to my previous "freakishly inflexible and to be mocked on sight", which is nice.

On the weights front things are going quite well, I've dropped my body weight down to 103kg, but have worked my bench back up to 5 sets of 5 at 120kg. As a consequence of my weight loss, my pull-ups are pretty sweet at the moment with my first set at 15 and tapering off after that.
