Good morning. About 65 degrees outside this morning. Pull-ups and a run coming up here. Hope you all have a good day!
On this day in 1643, Louis XIV became King of France at age four upon the death of his father, Louis XIII.
Comments: Man, talk about having the good life handed to you on a silver platter! Honestly, a four year old could probably do a better job than most of the people in politics in this country right now...

Four years old...hmmm, I have a 4yo and I'm thinking it may not be as fun as you think...but yes, we have some craziness here. As crazy as it is and even if you don't agree with or like everything that has been done or will be done, I'm glad I didn't wake up in Syria this morning. :thumbup: May be a rest day here. We have a baby shower to attend. YAY! :eek:

I pretty much refuse to go to those things.

Pull-ups Use the same number of repetitions from the previous day. 5
3 Sets of Pull-ups 3 Sets of Close-Grip Pull-ups 3 Sets of Wide Grip Pull-ups *Rest 60 Seconds between sets.
If you are able to complete all sets, start over again and continue as long as you are able. Note where you failed: 27 Sets, 3 Reps (138 Total)
Conditioning: Distance Run, Outdoor, Paved & Trail 5 Miles, 42:34, 8:27 Pace, 689 Calories
Comments: Pull-ups: This was a really cool experiment. I would highly suggest trying this. I figured that doing Cindy rounds pretty regularly for the last two years would get me a lot of sets on this. My form was very close to strict. No kipping and I went almost all the way to dead-hang position with only a slight elbow bend at the bottom. It was screwing my shoulders up doing DHPUs last cycle. They did end up being DHPUs toward the end as my arms got tired. Truthfully, I could've gotten a few more but sort've stopped due to the amount of time I had spent doing these. Still need to get a run in and it's almost lunch time. Run: Well, I missed my cool weather window and it was about 80 degrees for this. I kept telling myself that it still isn't "hot" and I need to man up and keep pounding. Honestly, the pull-ups sort've wore me out for this run. I may start doing those on Friday instead. Well, the month of reckoning continues. Getting used to doing all of this stuff in the heat is always a challenge. Time to eat lunch and mow the yard. Hope you all have a great day!
