the air conditioning at gymmie was struggling so i took off my shirt and just worked out in my sports bra. two things:
a) i can just do that now, which is wild. sports bras are terrible but also kind of wonderful.
b) there are mirrors everywhere at gymmie and apparently while working out i now have visible abs which is… i honestly dont even have words. this was never in a million years on my transition bingo card.
shaved five seconds off my personal record for 2000m row!
i'm still new enough (9mo) that every benchmark day is a new PR, but the margins by which i make those PRs are getting closer and closer to zero. the day where i dont grab a PR is coming soon, and im trying to prepare myself so i dont feel like an abject failure when it happens.
shaved 22 seconds off my time for one mile run!
fitness, weight loss, scientifically dubious measurement
shaved nine seconds off my 500m row time!
strength workouts are so important and produce the least impressive share graphics.
But I did three dozen bridges, explosively thrusting my hips up off the ground with a seventy pound barbell on top of them, just sayin.
the first time we did Catch Me If You Can, i walked out of that saying, "wow, i hated that workout."
this morning, the second time, i waked out of it saying, "wow, i FUCKING hated that workout."
it's the only otf workout that you fail (unless you can run 9.4 mph for twenty minutes).
anyway, personal record, fuck you, Catch Me If You Can, die in a fire.
completed orange theory's dry triathalon, aka DRI TRI.
2000m rowing
300 body weight reps
5km run
it was my first time so my only goal was to finish, and i did at just under an hour. wheeee!!!

REALLY enjoyed the new quarter-mile benchmark workout today. Since its so short, you get to do it twice!
Which sounds intimidating, but it means you can do it at a pace you know you can hold the whole time, and then you can do it again at a push. So my first time was at 7.5mph with a 1:58 finish time. The second time around I went 7.7 until 0.18 miles and then mashed the 10mph button for the rest of it. 1:39 finish time! :D
This week marks six months of doing Orange Theory Fitness.
92 workouts, 35,100 calories burned, 1124 splat points sweated out.
I feel fucking magnificent, I can't even express it in words. My body just *works* in ways it never had before.
...and I'm just getting started. :)
body did not want to start working out after two rest days but pushed through and did it anyway
2000m row benchmark today
personal record by 34 seconds
(although my first rodeo was kind of a shitshow. but still!)
anyway the first time around, 2km felt interminable and this time id hit halfway before i even knew it? so progress!
Knocked 15 seconds off my mile time!
up at 4am to go see how fast i can run a mile because scheduling makes the 5:30am class the only one that works for today's benchmark if i also want to get my lower body strength workout in.
and so as i sit in the car waiting for the gym to open, i wonder once again: who the fuck am i any more?
