Notes

The first day after a non-gym day is always interesting – today’s session was positive with the sub 2m 10s 500m row and a total of 32 full pushups and just 13 knee pushups. I fully expect to suffer for that tomorrow!

Tried a little jog up the stairs from level 1 to 8 – got as far as level 2 and really had to work hard to make it to level 8 lol
