Since 8/7

8/7: NYC TRI! Beat my previous time by about 5 minutes. Not as dramatic as the time I was hoping for, but that's actually huge. Stronger on the bike, weaker on the run and less dawdling in transition.
8/9: Day 2 of Literary Bootcamp. 5x5 ab-wheel rollouts. All I could manage with 14 hours of writing a day.
8/11: Squeezed in a 4.25 mile run. Felt awful in the N. Carolina heat. Could barely muster any breath.
8/15: 50 pullups in 10-something minutes, and another 5x5 ab-wheel rollouts.
8/16: 50 pullups, 4.25 mile run.
8/17: 50 pullups
8/18: 50 pullups, 7.43 mile run

This 50 pullups a day challenge for 50 days is fun. My lats are definitely barking at me right now. Awesome.

Post-Beast Post

Friday: Bootcamp. Ow.
Saturday: 5 mile run
Sunday: Warrior Dash at Windham. Fun, but not very challenging. It's hilarious to read the comments on their Facebook page lately, about how hard it was. No guys, that wasn't hard, you're just not very fit....
Monday: Pole dancing class!! Fun, but not a great workout. Though I am bruised today!
