Workout Reflection
I do too many warm-ups for the deadlift. I'm afraid to start heavier than the bar and then I only want to go up 10-20 pounds each time (and do 5 reps for each). I'm going to wear myself out too quickly if I keep it up.

I wanted to do just 3 rounds, but did the prescribed 5 rounds. I saw myself totally being annihilated by the Mud Run and decided I could put in an extra 5 minutes to forego future pain and humiliation.

I also went solo today. The miracle of all miracles happened and both babes fell asleep within 15 minutes of one another. Elizabeth still had her kids and was watching two others, but I couldn't bypass this opportunity when Patrick may not be home in time tonight. It's boring by myself.
