I was pretty much done after that! I used the first half of training for conditioning because mine is seriously behind. I haven't jogged in forever, it's one of the things I would like to start incorporating back in. I was super pleased with the stones! That was the heaviest stone I've ever lifted. I've done a 145lb bag before, but stones are different. Different technique and feel entirely, so that was great! I was also actually pleased with the running. It was slow, but I did it. I always end up playing mind games with myself. Part of my brain will always begin telling me that I can't do it, that I don't have anything left and that's when the stubborn, fighting part of my brain kicks in. Every time I train, I'm my own competition. I tell myself I can't and then I prove to myself that I can. 
On many fronts, my condition is improving. I won't lie, I've had my doubts. But I've also had that tiny little spark inside me that just needs a little fanning. When that happens - watch out, those flames burn hot!
