Tuesday February 21 - Day 250

250 workouts ago, I did my first workout of:
1 stair run
15 squats
10 push ups (on knees)
20 lunges
15 sit ups
3 rounds

My how times have changed.  I recently told him I'd like to learn how to do a pull up.  So this means I need to strengthen my arms and upper body.  Ummm yikes.  For the last week, you'll notice I've had A LOT of things with arms in them.

2 stair runs
20 calories on bike
10 ring rows
20 jump squats
5 rounds

Ouch!  My arms were already sore from the push ups and jumping pull ups from yesterday.  Ugh.  I may not be able to wash my hair tomorrow.  Which will make me a little cranky that I have to turn my head upside down in the shower.  But I will wash my hair like that if I can't raise my arms.

I've noticed some marked improvement in the ring rows.  I used to have to almost stand up completely to complete them.  Now I'm at such an angle were I'm about halfway to the ground.  YAY!  I will work on those and will soon be able to lay straight (above the ground) on my back and pull myself up.  I figure I'll hit that milestone around the same time as I hit the regular (or butterfly form) pull up.
