Which is huge improvement over the 10\u00a0minute\u00a0mile I started with a year ago. \u00a0A 7 \u00a0minute mile is a good goal for me. \u00a0I was also able to whip out 30 pullups, 30 pushups, and 30 ghd situps. \u00a0The pullups and pushups were in unbroken sets (of 10.)<\/p>\n<p>The WOD was 3x 400m row, 10 air squats, and 5 hang power cleans for time. \u00a0It took me 12:55, but I was committed. \u00a0I figure I got about 95% of the workout. \u00a0The HPC&#8217;s were really sloppy though. \u00a0Something to improve on. \u00a0Next week!<\/p>\n<p>Cheers.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\n google_ad_client = \"pub-0675667561792454\"; \/* Ad#1 Writers Block *\/ google_ad_slot = \"4888260728\"; google_ad_width = 300; google_ad_height = 250;\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\n\n\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday I really wanted to workout. \u00a0But for the wrong reason. \u00a0I often feel like I should be working out every day. \u00a0Some crossfit\u00a0athletes\u00a0do. \u00a0What I want when I work out is total commitment. \u00a0Just going in because I think &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/libernetics.com\/?p=1387\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1387","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-crossfit-diaries"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 5.0.1.1 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The author manages his emotions, and plans his workouts to get 100% commitment.
