Grats on the good start Subby!

Last test for the end of September was today:

Timed Test

The first three are of the "how many can you do in a minute" variety:

Pushups: 21 from knees (last month 15 knees/7 more elevated from bench)
Situps: 3 situps/31 crunches (last month 4 situps/28 crunches)
60 degree TRX Band Rows: 26 (last month 21)

Plank: 30 seconds from toes (last month I was just starting to try to progress from knees to toes)
Half Mile Run: 6 minutes 46 seconds (last month 7:01)

Everything but the situps improved decently, even the first situp hurts like hell. Disclaimer that the run isn't actually a half mile, but they call it that. Whatever, as long as its the same every time.


We also took measurements today. Everything was down a bit, Stomach was down like 1 1/2 inches. I forget the absolute numbers, since we do them before the workout and I don't have anything on me to write them down. I'm pretty sure waist is 45 1/4" and it was like 46 1/2" or 47" when I first started.


Last note is that I was able to do Wednesday's workout without any noticeable foot pain, and during the testing today my foot was fine, but it hurt a fair bit afterwards, certainly from the running. An hour later it feels ok though, so its not going to hurt all day. Definitely an improvement. The biggest test of that really will be the next time we try to do lunges, before the cortisone shot those hurt instantly and constantly, even without holding any extra weight.
