Notes:
Made eye of round roast tonight. Turned out DELICIOUS. Medium – rare in the middle, very yummy.
Workout posed some unexpected difficulties. I was set to use a 12kg KB and go for full reps, but that 20:00 cutoff got me thinking. I didn’t think I’d get under that time. 25:00 maybe, but would that still have been a good option? I took the half-rep scheme and went up to Rx KB weight.
HSPU’s were good, 10, 5. Pull ups were okay – 12, 6, 2; grip just wasn’t good enough to keep it to two sets. KB swings gave me trouble, though.

At rep 17 my left knee (inside, near/under the kneecap edge) started twinging. I DO NOT LIKE my knees twinging. Especially my left one. I got paranoid, and broke the swings, rubbed at my knee for a moment and went back at it. The next two reps also hurt, and as I like my knees, I moved straight to sit-ups. I went through 30 sit-ups easily and felt guilty and pissed at myself, and got in my last 6 reps to hit 25. I am not happy with this… maybe I should’ve just rested until I felt my knee was okay, but I didn’t, and I’m fine with my decision… mostly. I am at least happy that the final 6 reps were painless. I suspect the old scar tissue was pulling funny or something… I’d tried shifting my stance, but that hadn’t helped earlier. The rest did it. I have no real idea what was happening. *sigh*
Finally, burpees just sucked as usual. Mostly sets of 5 with progressively shorter breaks, I kept trying to cut down the time in between. It worked out.
I think I may just make a Thursday, if I’m awake enough for it. I’d like to head in tomorrow before all the holiday craziness.
