Good workout

It was a crazy day at work, but a good day. Fun meetings, lots of work accomplished, even better conversation... you know the day.

Each employee at my company is given annual "projects" that they must complete. They have due dates throughout the year and they're called "SMART goals." Everyone has different goals and I have a pretty big one due at the end of March. I decided to stay late to work on it. I've tried working on it all month, but I get interrupted a gazillion times and I felt like I wasn't getting anywhere. I got more done in two hours tonight after everyone left than I had all month with all of my employees there.

I've been analyzing information and data since December 1st and it's finally done! It feels great to work on something for that long and have a sense of accomplishment at the end. And even better, I was able to identify some inappropriate practices occuring in December, change them in January, then report on the results during February.

I prepared my report and sent it over to my boss for his review. After I sent it, I felt confident turning my computer and office lights off and saying "done for the night." I really had accomplished quite a bit and it felt great.

Then I walked over to the gym.

I ran two 3/4-mile segments at a 7% incline. I ran at 5 mph, which isn't that fast, but a 7% incline is fricken tough. It wasn't easy, I can assure you. Then, I decided to max-out (kind of) on pull-ups to try and get a little closer to my resolution of doing one pull-up without assistance. I did 2 rounds (1 rep each) at level 5 assist. That's the first time I've done one at level 5, I think, so I'm feeling good about my progress. Then I did two rounds (2 reps each) at level 6 and two rounds (3 reps each) at level 7.

All in all, a wonderful day! I hope yours was too!
