Murph Training And A New Fitbit Badge

Hello one and all! Welcome back to my blog.

OK, so I missed doing the Murph workout on Memorial Day. Or should I say, I skipped it. No excuses, I just didn't do it. But I did do it yesterday evening. Here are the results:

1-mile run -> 13:09

4 sets of 10 pull-ups, 20 push-ups, 30 squats -> 15:57

1-mile run -> 10:06

I know, I know. Last week I pulled of all 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups and 300 squats. However, that was with some modified pull-ups. 

Yesterday, doing traditional pull-ups, I only did I do all 10 without stopping  on the first set. The other three sets I had to break it up, with the last set being done as 4,3,3 with small breaks between. Still, those 40 pull-ups are the most I've ever done in a day.

Considering that about a month ago, I could barely do one pull-up, I think that's pretty freakin' awesome!

Oh, and if you're wondering about that second mile being so much  quicker, at my son's insistence, I ran that outside. I figured out a route around the perimeter of our property was roughly 0.15 miles. 

The weird thing to me was that the pace I was running felt slower than when doing the same thing on a treadmill.

Oh, and coupled with my yard work earlier in the day, I finally earned the Fitbit "Classics" badge for 25,000+ steps in a day! I finished with 26,187!

My next daily step goal is 30,000. I have no idea how I'll get that or the badge for 50 flights of stairs in a day. Suggestions welcome.

Anyway, thanks again for joining me on this journey!
