- "Wind and Walls," Tallest Man On Earth
New month, new goals.
I started logging workouts in RunningAhead again yesterday. It's always a challenge for me to make sure all my workouts get logged. I'm very focused on improvement, so I suppose I need the data so I can track my progress. I view it as a hassle, but here goes nothing. (Note: I know I'm on Strava, but I never take the time to log anything there, especially since I'm currently GPS free. Bear with me.) Really, this shouldn't be so challenging any longer, what with my rigid commitment to my food journal.
Next, next, next... By May, I'd like to be able to do a single pullup. Just one. That's all I'm asking for.
What am I doing to address that goal? Lots of pullups on the assist machine (including climbing-related variations with uneven hands on different holds...), lat pull downs, and even hanging (by my hands, not on the crazy ab contraption whose name I can't recollect) ab work. I swam today for the first time in forever, and I could definitely feel yesterday's workout while I was in the pool. Frankly, I feel it all the time. I'm sore... but that's a good thing :)
I'm mostly doing this so I can be a better climber, and also be fitter. But I think I'll see improvement in the pool as a result, which is a definite blessing in disguise. I can use all the help I can get...
Otherwise, I have the time trial on the horizon, as well as a triathlon off in the distance. But as to fun fitness goals, I guess pullups are it. For nowwww.
