July 22nd-

Snatch - 20kg (switch each 20)/160/10'30"
Squat - 50kg/30
Overhead Holds - 24kg/average 30"L, 1'00"R

This felt pretty good!! I was happy with the difficulty level. It was tough but manageable. No elbow pain. 

July 23rd-

.5km warm-up
4km at avg heart rate 160 (30'48")
.2km "sprint"  (1'06")

I think this is my best 4km so far! :)

July 24th-

2' between each set 
16/20+20
20/20+20
24/15+15
26/10+10
10kg Hyperextensions/20 × 2

This session was a VERY nice surprise! I was not expecting to be able to do it but it went really well. No elbow pain, no struggling. First time with 26kg. It wasn't too bad!!!!

July 25th-

4km 37'42"

Heart Rate 145-150

First time to run in the heat for a long time. 97F/36C outside. Ouch. Definitely felt it.

July 26th-

20kg/96/6'20"

Well, this was supposed to be a 10' set but I did not have it in me at all today. More accurately, I did not set myself up for success today. I was dumb and didn't eat until 1pm (got up late, had to rush out the door, and didn't have any food cooked), then tried to train at 3. Yeah. So that was stupid.

Training week overall-
Once again ended on a not-so-great note, however, I am really happy with 4 parts of my training this week - 1) Snatching the 26kg and not struggling with it!, 2) Running 7km, most of it uphill, in 1hr, 3) Getting my best 4km time so far, 4) Finishing the multiswitch set without much trouble.

Running total time and distance - 15km, ~2 hrs
