Pretty good day

How was your day? Mine was pretty gosh darn good.

I started out the day with Crossfit. We did 10 rounds of 3 power cleans and 3 chest-to-bar pullups. I went too light on the power cleans. My one rep max is 35# so for that many reps I went down to 25#. That was light enough to be considered cheating. Anyway, that was part one. Part two was tabata sit-ups - 20 seconds of as many sit-ups as you can do and ten seconds of rest times 8. Four minutes all told. Then three one-minute planks with thirty seconds of rest in between.

Then I took my car in for service. Fixing that plastic thingy cost me about $100. Could have been worse. Then the 90,000 mile service. Can't be helped. The car has 90,000 miles on it. Chris still couldn't hear any grinding noise from the starter. What we finally figured out was that I step on the gas when starting the car. When I learned to drive a car, back in the Stone Age, that's what we did. Apparently, you don't have to do that any more. No one told me. So, I will quit stepping on the accelerator when I start the car and see if I ever hear that dreadful noise again. That will save me $1,000 if I don't have to replace the starter.

This evening I went for a 3-1/4 mile run on 3/1 run/walk. It was a great run. I felt good. It was warm enough that the muscles warmed up quickly but not so hot as to make the run difficult.

All in all, a good day.
