  • General: Really surprised myself with the pullups today. Even though they aren't very good numbers at all it still baffles me whenever I am able to do well with pullups because I spent the first 17 years of my life not being able to do any of them. Sled drags are brutal to put it simply. They will be great for developing my hip flexors and quads for running and since we're bringing the sled back to Springfield College I will be using it more frequently.
  • Nutrition: OK. Foodwise I ate mostly clean. Had some cereal post WOD and a big bowl of ice cream. Also drank some beers and a good amount of gin.
  • Body: My back feels realy off from sitting in the squat yesterday. I plan to continue because I think it's a good thing that it feels weird. I want to keep doing it until my back feels better. Otherwise I am not very sore.
  • Reflections: I plan to train tomorrow and Friday and then take the weekend off because I will be partying in NH with some of my friends. Not going to train this weekend so I will hit it as hard as possible the next 2 days. I'd like to get a run in one of these days to see how my legs feel.
