"Severin"

50 Strict Pull-ups
100 Push-ups, release hands from floor at the bottom
Run 5K

Scaled to 35 strict pull-ups and 70 push-ups, same style.

Well I haven't run in months. This was going to be sucky. My 5K PR is 21 and change. Was hoping to stay under 30 this time. Did it on the dreadmill because I didn't want anyone to see my pathetic running... Turned out worse than I thought - 33:54 for the 5K. Knee was bothering me and I couldn't push it. Turns out I got some weird bug because in the morning I felt like death warmed over. So at least maybe I have that to fall back on some. The pullups and pushups were okay.
