Gym Update

I visited the Y today. I ran a mile on the treadmill at no incline in 8 minutes 45 seconds. I can still only do two pullups. I did crunches on the decline bench with a 10 lb plate on my chest. 15, 11, then 10. I had the bench in the fourth position.

I am really happy with the mile time! I hadn't set out to run a mile since middle school, and I was able to do it faster than I'd hoped. My goal was to do a 10 minute mile. I did way better than that! I'm getting a little frustrated about my pullups. I guess I just need to do them more than once a week while expecting miraculous gains in ability. I'll do more on Tuesday or Wednesday after racquetball. I'm not too thrilled with my ab work, either. A week and a half ago I was able to do three sets of 15 with a 10 lb plate. I think that I was just too tired because I did them after running. Again, I'll do more after racquetball this week.
