Sunday Night "Angie"

Another crossfit workout, Angie = 100 pullups, 100 pushups, 100 situps, 100 squats.

Angie should be done as fast as possible in the order listed. You can't move on to the pushups until you finish the pullups. It is a back-breaker if you keep a fast pace, wonderfully brutal.

On Sunday night, Kristina and I got home around 9:30 and I felt like I needed to do something before eating and going to bed. Angie popped into my mind and I got a stopwatch and went into the garage. I didn't change, I just stayed in my jeans and shoes and "I have a black belt in CRAZY" shirt and I went for it.

20 minutes and 25 seconds later I was done. And I was DONE. My goal was to break the 20 minute mark (had never done it) and I missed by 25 seconds :( So close, you have to push hard to break through those barriers, and I let my intensity slip by just a few seconds on the situps and squats. It's a good lesson, and next time I'm going to go below 18 minutes.

Set goals and push hard. Your body and mind can't help but grow from these sorts of experiences.
