Benchmarks:

Well, as I was battling a cold on my usual 'first Friday of the month' challenge, I didn't get to doing my benchmark routine until Sunday. However, I'm pleased. Here's how it's been going:

Max. Deadhang Pull-ups:
January - 6
February - 8
March - 8

100 Full Burpees (for time):
January - 11:26
February - 10:57
March - 9:48

Workouts have been suffering these past couple of weeks due to the demands of work and allowing myself some rest as I fought off this cold, but I think it's been for the best. Body and mind needed the rest...and (as the benchmark challenge proved) performance hasn't suffered.

I think being active and watching my eating helped me to fight off this cold with relative ease. My husband was dealing with the same cold, but he seemed to have a tougher time getting through it/over it...either that or it was clearly a case of a "man cold".

This week I finally get the opportunity to get out for some rock climbing again. I haven't been on rock in about 2 years! I'm sort of nervous about getting reacquainted with my old friend, but oober-excited to be back. I wish I could make it more of a routine (like I used to do...once a week), but I'll take what I can get. Good times, good activity with some great people.

Happy Monday all!

Rock climbing, sounds intense! I like your monthly fitness evals, you're clearly making great progress even with some needed breaks. In my experience husbands always take a little longer to recover ;) Have a wonderful day!
