Friday!

I'm not sure how it got to be Friday so fast, but hey, I'll take it! It's been a weird week for me, and I'm just as happy that it's over.

Crossfit this morning was "weighted" pullups - which, since I can't do a pullup at all, let alone with added weight, means I just see how little assistance I need to do one. I'm very happy to see that I've gotten considerably stronger since the last time I did this workout in January (being about ten pounds lighter helps quite a bit, too.) I am confident that by the time I hit my next weight milestone I'll be able to do at least one unassisted pullup. That would be a pretty major feat, and I'm looking forward to it.

Karate last night went really well, compared to the rest of the week. I'm still sweating pretty badly, but I'm getting better at dealing with it, and the instructor pointed out that because the head instructor is out of town, the A/C isn't being turned on until just about an hour before my class - it was still 84 degrees by the time we were finished. If it's cooler in there, my sweat glands won't have to go into overdrive and I might be able to have something like a normal practice. Rumors of an upcoming belt test abound, and I really want to be able to test for my blue belt without making an utter fool of myself.
