Another Week In The Books

Hello and welcome One-Eyed Tiger fans! Welcome to another edition of my post!

Before I get to this weekend's Murph Workout results, I just wanted to mention my performance in the ATA fit test exercise this week leading up to my first TaeKwanDo belt test!

If you're not familiar with it, you get one minute each to do as many: push-ups, v-ups, alternating front kick/round kick, double-punch/round kick and finally straight punches as possible. To qualify to even take belt test, you must get a combined 300+ on all these.

When we did this during Wednesday night's class, I set a personal best of 297! V-ups are definitely my weak point, as I imagine they are for lots of people.

Anyway, on to this week's Murph Workout results. I wanted to up my total number of pull-ups, but I still started with 4 sets of 10 pull-ups, 20 push-ups and 30 squats. On the last set though, I did 12 pull-ups, 20 push-ups, 4 pull-ups, 30 squats and 4 pull-ups for a total of 50 pull-ups completed!

1-mile run: 12:32
Pull-ups, etc: 14:13
1-mile run: 12:11

Unlike last week, both runs were done indoors on a treadmill. It was way too hot to run outside at that time!

Later this week, I plan to have an entry where I maintain a running tally of each week's performance.
