12/20/14 Saturday December 20, 2014 (pull-ups, push-ups, walking, hill sprints)

Writing this on Sunday evening.  Got this work in yesterday mid day, which was nice for once.  It was raining throughout and the only little challenge was keeping a good enough grip on the rings for pull-ups, but it was fine.  Got an awful lot of walking in and also added some sprints for the first time in a long time (and this time, on a hill).

Total pull-ups - 21, up 1 from last week; 25 push-ups

Walked for about 15 minutes after finishing this to the hill at the south end of the lake.  Did 4 sets of hill sprints, didn't time them, but its' probably about 15 seconds from the bottom of the hill to the top. Sprint up, walk down, shake it out, do it again - not that much rest between the 4 sets.  It was actually raining pretty hard at this point but didn't bother me.  Felt good actually. It's a pretty steep hill, but it felt great to do these.  My running motion felt really, really efficient and strong.  That was really cool to see as I have done no running or sprinting in a long, long time, months basically as I dropped the sprinting back in October to focus purely on SFG1 lifts.  I am writing this on Sunday and am not sore today, whereas flat ground sprints when I was doing them definitely were accompanied with some DOMS.  I think these hill sprints are going to be a great weekend addition to the other bodyweight work.
