My Kind Of Pride

     I surely did not want to go downstairs tonight. But I did. It was a struggle but I'm proud of myself for getting it done. Here is the breakdown:

10,000 Swing Challenge (35lb bell)

Each cluster tonight consisted of the following:

10 swings, 4lb lateral leg lift x2

15 swings, leg lift x3

25 swings, leg lift x5

50 swings

STARTING TIME: 6:57pm

Cluster 1: 4:41 min

Rest: 3 min

Cluster 2: 4:14 min

Rest: 3 min

Cluster 3: 4:33 min

Rest: 4 min

Cluster 4: 4:05 min

Rest: 4 min

Cluster 5: 4:23 min

ENDING TIME: 7:32 pm

(35 total min)

     My clusters were a little slower it appears, but the accessory was different so that plays into it. The leg lifts were done with ankle weights and I'm fairly certain they're 4lbs a piece. The instructions on the website said to use squats as one of the accessories, but I'm trying to avoid squats fo the time beings. That being said, I still need to do some lower body work so I thought these would be good. It also needs to be something fairly straightforward that doesn't take up a lot of time, room, or equipment. Also, my rest times are approximate because I stop the timer to reset it for the next cluster, etc. I know most people probably don't give a rat's behind about the specific times, but my stupid brain works in odd ways. I like to be as exact as possible. I feel like it keeps me honest!

     As I said, I'm proud of myself for getting it done tonight. I really would like to see this through to the end and then keep going! I want so badly to be "good" again. The only thing in my way is me.
