PU: 18-18-11-7-7-6-6-6 (on the knees again, if not theres no point tabatifying…)

So, slightly better than last time (080625)

So, the ankle feels ok, no point in resting, right? A busy day today so around 9pm I was really worried there wasn’t going to be a workout at all. Went over to a friend’s mother to help her with a wireless network setup. She smokes in the house, and the air was thick with the vile stuff while I was there. I literally gasped for air when I left…

So when I got home at 9.15 the couch looked mighty inviting. Did I succumb? No! I Put in the work. Not that it was a lot of work, but enough for me right now.

Tabata Squats: 12-14-14-12-12-13-12-14: Didn’t push it, focused on form, and was a bit vary of the ankle. I felt it a bit at the end, but not too bad.

Tabata Pushups: 15-16-11-9-7-6-7-8: This was not good. Felt the ankle a bit, so decided to go for knee pushups. Still couldn’t maintain a decent pace. I put up better numbers than this with regular pushups back in january. Oh well, baseline established.

Summary: There’s a lot more work to be put in.
