    Good workout today (and helped with my not-doing-Murph guilt!) Felt really good on deadlifts, making me think that my goal of hitting a 200+ deadlift by the end of August is totally doable.

    It’s okay, Jane, I didn’t do Murph either. :o) Glad I had the excuse of work, because I’m pretty sure I would have tried to do it and pretty sure I would have vomited.

    I love me some deadlifts! I went light because I wasn’t sure how my hips would respond, 113# for my 85%. In hindsight, way too light, but that’s okay, I felt like I got some decent work in perfecting form. Definitely calling myself out, though – I can do more.

    Ugh, the math problems on the comments are the WORST. Four + 7 = ____. I pick things up and put them down. You really expect me to know that?
