UNBRIDLED TRUTH

Once again, the drive just wasn't there for me to get in a fifth workout this week. That hasn't been the only thing that I've slacked on lately, either.

Sunday Type: Pass/Fail Close Pull Ups - 3 sets of 7 (pass) Shoulder-width Handstand Push Ups - 3 sets of 7 (pass) Bonus: none Making progress from where I was at with both of these is great. Tuesday Type: Pass/Fail Diamond Push Ups - 2 sets of 18 (pass) Closing Bridges - 2 sets of 5 (pass

I didn't aim to do anything fancy to cap off the year. Just finishing on pace was good enough, in my eyes. 2020 was certainly a trying year, and while that will continue into 2021, I think there's reason to be optimistic about turning things around and getting back on track this year, both on a personal level and on societal/global level.
