So tonight was my second time through the fit test and it wasn't any easier. But I actually want to claim that as a good thing. If it wasn't any easier, it means I pushed myself just as hard, if not harder the second time through as I did my first time. That is what I want to be known for, pushing myself and making it a huge part of who I am. Whether it's exercise, homework, or family responsibilites, I want to be able to push myself into things I don't like doing, knowing they'll pay dividends in the end.The first time set a good high bar for me. In 5 of the 8 exercises, I passed the bar, in 2 of them I met the same bar, and sadly, in one I was just 1 rep below it (dang suicide jumps). But in the end I'm glad to say that I did better. I realize that since a lot of people are going to monitor my progress on this, I might as well put up the numbers. With some of these, I'm very happy with, and with others (suicide jumps) I'm less than pleased with, but we will see what time tells.

So judge of it what you will, but for now, I'm going to say good day, go shower, and lapse into my coma.Getting sharp hurts, but nothing worthwhile ever came easy.
