- Took an extra minute in the eight ladder for no real good reason. Think the…

August 11th, 2011

Notes:

Have a deadline coming up at work that has meant some extra hours.
Didn't sleep very well, so I got up early to workout
Did my workout outside which is uncommon
Anyway, I just wasn't anywhere near 100%
Proud of still getting a solid workout in.
I totally would have bagged the whole thing if Jim hadn't told me exactly what would to do today. Thanks…
