2012-02-6 — For the past month I’ve been focused on my resolution to run everyday this year – so far so good. In the meantime, I’ve been keeping upper body strength with yoga and sporadic warm ups. A good friend of mine who’s moving to join me in Dallas in a month or two just put me up to an ongoing CrossFit challenge called Cyndies (sp?). I’m going to recharge this push up effort by shifting my goal a bit to this new challenge. How many sets of 5 pull ups, 10 push ups, and 15 air squats can you do in 20 minutes?
