Gym trip after all

Well, I went to work today all bandaged up!

I had no intentions of working out today. I figured I would probably be more sore today from the fall...

but I was wrong.

My knee is swollen, my ankle has a golf ball sticking out of the side, and I have some very distinct scrapes and bruises up and down my left side...

besides those few dozen ailments, I feel fine.

The worst part about today is that I tend to sit on my left leg when I'm at my desk. It's just habit and what's comfortable for some reason. Well, my left leg is where all of my deep scrapes are but I would forget sometimes and end up sitting on them. Yikes. That never felt great, but for the most part, I felt fine otherwise.

Michael does personal training on Tuesdays so I left work and headed to the gym instead of going home. This wasn't planned, I decided at the last minute that I felt good enough to workout. I told myself I wouldn't push it if it was hurting or uncomfortable on any of my injured areas, but I ended up making it through the whole workout.

I did "Erin" which calls for 5 rounds of the following:
15 reps 25# dumbbell split clean
21 pull-ups (assisted level 10)
Total time = 25:05

Here is my time for each of the 5 rounds:
3:48
5:24
5:23
5:15
5:13

It was HELLA hard. My arms were numb after the first round already and I thought there was no way I was going to finish all five... I'm happy to see those splits and realize that I was very consistent in the final rounds.

Here's a video of what a dumbbell split clean looks like- I did it with a 25# weight in each hand:

Until tomorrow,
