WOD OUCH!

Today's workout was a lot of fun. I loved it, I just wish my hands didn't hurt like hell from it.
"Nicle" =
AMRAP in 20 minutes:
Run 400 meters
Pull-ups
Before you ask, yes, yes, I did run although I probably shouldn't have. I still really enjoy running so it's hard not to do it although all day I said I was going to do a different type of cardio- biking, rowing, etc. In the end, running it was.
For the pull-ups, I did kipping pull-ups UNASSISTED!
I did 6 rounds in all, or 1.5 miles.
Here's how I did each round in pull-ups:
5
3
4
3
5
2
Total = 22
On the last round, I was slightly distracted w/ Michael's "coaching" so I dropped after 2 by accident. I jumped back up though and did 3 more. They don't count though because it's however many you can do without dropping.
Fun workout.
The last time I did "Nicole" was March 30th. It's actually pretty crazy to compare the two-
*3/30 I did 6 rounds, Today I did 6 rounds
*3/30 I did ASSISTED pull-ups on level 10, Today I did UNASSISTED PULL-UPS
*3/30 I did 7 pull-ups each round or 42 total, Today I did 22 total
*3/30 I ran at 8.5 mph and today I ran 7.5-8.0 mph and I'm injured.
To me, there's some pretty big improvements there, especially in my upper body. I mean, to go from doing 42 pull-ups on LEVEL 10 to 22 UNASSISTED pull-ups, that's a pretty big jump in a few short months.
Now, if only it didn't hurt to type this I'd be all set.
