pullup PR

Really really needed an off day. Tuesdays workout was a really hard warmup and then all sprints. Go ahead and google "death by 10m". Its already hard enough, then you factor in Houston's 6pm heat (i.e. soul sucking) and some would question my sanity.

Tomorrow I get my BMI checked for the first time since I had it checked in January? Maybe it was earlier, probably more like November. In any event my BMI was 18%, I'm hoping to shatter that score and get a score of < 12% , but who knows. Each method of calculating it (there's like 4 methods) can produce wildly different results, so we'll see.

During the warmup tuesday is set my PR (personal record) for pullups in a row by knocking out 12. That may not seem like a staggering amount (my friend Cody once did 46 in a row) but I started out only being able to complete about 1.5, so that nearly 1000% increase is actually pretty good.

Also today I tipped the scales at 169.4 at night, meaning that my adjustments are causing me to lose (healthy) fat, and for the first time since high school I'm below the 170's. This really is uncharted territory for me and I love it. I think the body part that loves me the most are my knees, as they've had almost 20 lbs of pressure relieved that they have to support.

Now I need to get some rest and be ready to tackle whatever WOD Charlie draws up for me (I'm fearing that 'FRAN' is in my near future).
