The End of the Journey

Ok I finished off the New Years Resolutions with my final round of testing.

I did about what I expected. Here is a tally on how I tested at the beginning and then again Yesterday:

Body Weight Start 191      Now 174      Goal 170

Waist Line Start 38.25       Now 34.50    Goal N/A

Chest Line Start 41.0         Now 42.50    Goal N/A

Pushups Start 17              Now 39        Goal 50 

Chin-ups Start 8               Now 13        Goal 16

5k Start 29:12                   Now 22:18   Goal Under 22:00

Despite the fact I did not make it to a single one of my goals I ended up in much better shape so I have no complaints. Well I have one, that stupid Spinal meningitis at the start is the reason that I did not make it. Not that I am making excuses, just the fact that lying in the fetal position in agonizing pain for a week tends to slow down the ol’ training progression just a tad.

Let me know if you set any resolutions and if so how you did. I am brainstorming my next goal. If you have any ideas I would love to hear those as well.

Oh and based on the fact I did not make a single goal I felt I only deserved the second place ribbon this year.
