all is well...

It's been a while since I've blogged seems like ... 

Last weekend and the beginning of this past week, I was having a lot of lower back pains that seemed to stem from the deadlifts from a few weeks ago.  Or just the ridiculously difficult workouts that just came pouring in all of a sudden. 

So I took a week off, tried to get my back right.  It's feeling much better and I look forward to getting my crossfit totals here next friday. 

Goals I've met since I last blogged: 

  •      I did 2 completely prescribed workouts for time that included pullups. 
  •      Total pullups that week was 130 kippings, 30 jumping pullups.  I did 20 kippings and then switched to jumping pullups during the monday workout, then  the 110 kippings wednesday and friday. 
  •      I went up an average 30 pounds on my press and push press.  Not maxed out though. 
  •      I've been getting my half mile consistently under 5 min.  but my mile is about 13 because my legs are hurting so bad I feel like I can't keep running. 
  •      I did 83 sit ups in 2:00 ... 2 minutes is really a lot of time.  I was having to watch the stop watch and I took more breaks than I probably should have - but I have no doubt I can pump more out later on. 
I know I'm getting really strong, but I need to back off the strength training if I ever hope to drop some of the weight I have got to lose. 

later.
