UNBRIDLED TRUTH

There was something specific in my mind to talk about during this introduction earlier in this week, but now that I'm sitting down to actually write this recap, I can't remember it. Thus, instead, I'll take a moment to say that there's going to be a hiccup in my routines in the near future, since I'm going to be taking a trip to visit a friend in the early part of November.

Sunday Type: Pass/Fail Fingertip Push Ups - 3 sets of 11 (pass) Uneven Pull Ups - 3 sets of 7 (fail, 7/7/-) Bonus: none This was a disappointing start to the week.
