I just hafta share here, I’ve been concerned that continuing to do my (heavy) CrossFit workouts with the addition of a couple hours a day of dog walking at a fast pace seemed just too much for this body.
Yet today - I set new records on a benchmark weightlifting workout. For those of you who follow such things, here are my personal records:
- Back squat, 145 lbs. (twice now)
- Shoulder press, 75 lbs. (new today! WOOHOO!)
- Deadlift, 205 lbs. (twice now)
CrossFit adds these three up for a total. The first time I did them over a year ago, my total was something like 180. A month ago, it was 385. Today, it was 425!!
This is a real bench mark that I can use to say I must not be doing too much, or, I would have worn out halfway through and not set a new record total.
Can’t tell you how happy I am to think that I may be able to keep up the CrossFit AND add in the dog walking (or, hiking!) that I want to be doing this summer.
Who else around here is lifting weights or setting new records at your exercise?
It’s such a great thing to keep track of your workouts - so rewarding when you set a new record!
