Hand much better today, but feeling a bit lethargic, so took it slower than last few days. Fairly steady, except put on a sprint the last 500, where I was running in the 1:52 to 1:54 range, so ended up sweaty and out of breath anyway.

19 down, 6 to go.

I've been logging sleep since a comment coach made a few weeks ago, and like L&F, it has motivated me to get to bed earlier. I fall asleep readily, but usually wake up after about 3 or so hours wide awake for an hour, and then wake up again around 4 am wide awake, and so then I usually get up. If I could adapt to getting back to sleep, I would do much better.

dog walk with Rhonda and Sassy. About an inch of new snow last night, but melting fast. Still plenty of snow on trails in shadier parts.

Down at the new crossfit gym in town. Rhonda and I signed up for class, and things being new, turns out we were the only ones there, so we got private instruction. A bunch of warming up and trying different exercises, then the workout was 5 rounds of bench presses (5x35lb dumbbells), farmers walk (about 100 ft or so, 45 lb dumbbells), good mornings (55lb barbell). Rhonda had a bit less weight, but she is plenty tough. And then a few stretches and a nice chat and we were on our way.

I hope these guys can attract more of a crowd. That is, I hope they make it. Free first class, free class on Saturdays at 9am. We bought 10 punch tickets, Rhonda may switch to monthly if she really goes a lot.
