APFT
Today, I wimped out and didn't try the snatch WOD. Instead, I went home and took a nap. I was beat for some reason. I think it's because I ran a couple miles last night with an old friend, plus I did complete the Army's Physical Fitness Test this morning. I would like to report that CrossFit is helping in my effort to max the test. I know I've got lots of work to do on my running ability; however, my push-ups increased as well as my sit-ups. In fact, my sit-ups were rock'n! I completed 62 push-up but I'm pretty sure I'll max them next time. I've only got 11 more to do (i.e., 73). On the other hand, I did 80 sit-ups and I was still going. My core is definitely a lot stronger now, after doing CrossFit. I was flabbergasted, but highly proud of myself to say the least. I did the run in 16:38, which gave me an overall score of 263 out of a possible 300. I must run the 2-mile in 13:36, which to me is some craziness. I'm not even sure people over 40 can run that fast - LOL!

Good job on the APFT. A little "trick" to help you max the push-ups next time is to program in a tabata push-up into your routine. If it was me I would do it every other rest day, so really only once every 8 days. You'll see your numbers go through the roof!
Awesome! Thanks, Rick.
