But that&#8217;s my life, kind of minor.<\/p>\n<p>Today was Helen at the gym, 3 rounds of 2 laps around the building, 21 24kg kettlebell swings, 12 kipping pullups. I did a lot of stuff to try to torpedo my time. Last night I stepped on the bottom of my office chair, making me limp for a while. I ate a pulled pork sandwich for lunch. I was waiting on some guys to contact me at work and they finally did about 3:30PM and I got out of work at 5:45PM into rush-hour traffic. I had to go home to change before I hit the gym and I was only about 5-10 minutes late. Anyway, my usual plan of just taking the run easy so I could do the pullups without pausing gave me my best time ever, I think. I was surprised.<\/p>\n<p>So there you go. I&#8217;m reactivating my account on match.com in case anyone wants to point and laugh, but other than that I think my day is pretty much done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monday I was incredibly busy at work.
