Today's Gym + 2mile Run - Yesterday's 5K Roundup

Lets start off with yesterday's 5K:
I had planned to take it easy, but my wife had other ideas. She wanted to have a try out of my HR/GPS Garmin Forerunner 305. So she wanted to push it! We were running at just under 9min/mile pace for the duration and I felt pretty good! I'm fairly confident that I could have maintained that speed for 10K.

And Gym session this morning(35mins):
I was feeling some staleness in my legs, but still felt pretty good..If you are interested, here is a typical gym session for me..

45 Situps (using ab machine)
1K rowing (2:10/500m level 8)
2K cycling (5 mins 100-120rpm level4)
Dumbbells (15X10Kg, 15X10Kg)
Chest Expander(15X20Kg, 15X20Kg)
Vertical Chest Press(20X25Kg, 20X25Kg)
Shoulder Press (15X20Kg, 10X20Kg)
Dumbbells (10X12Kg, 8X12Kg)

Tonight's Run
Later I'll be taking my young nephew out a 1 mile run, and on the way back i'll aim to do two miles at 8min/mile pace, with the view to improving my leg speed.

My Weight?
I don't know whats going on with it. It seems to be sticking at circa 14st 7lbs, I am hopeful that this is related to my muscle development and water uptake in the muscles. I'm am not worried and suspect it will start to drop over the next few days.
