Its the little things...

As I get older it doesn't take much to make my day. Today the scale at the gym(24hr) made my day. One of my recent goals has been to deadlift 2.5 x my bodyweight. John suggested I weigh myself after today's deadlift. I went to 24hr fitness and weighed in at 178 which made my deadlift EXACTLY 2.5. I was so excited. I think people in the gym were looking at me funny as I got excited about my weight. I don't care about my weight in general but I was super excited about my weight today! I'm glad we ran around the block today before dead lifts. I was having a real hard time waking up and that was just what I needed.

Thanks John. i'm super stoked and really appreciate your encouragement this morning. It certainly made the difference. I think King Kong might be a ways out for me. I would love to do a crossfit total workout sometime though. :)
