Day 29/70: Core and Push

Complex workout. I missed my YAYOG W4/D4 workout, so I’m going to do it, then go right into my W5/D1 workout. Combining Core and Push on one day may not be perfect, but I don’t want to delay getting started on Week 5. So sue me.

I grew up in New England, did a short stint in the U.S. Navy after high school, worked in various factories, built & renovated houses, and finally moved to the Carolinas in 1998 to start working at what was then a large regional bank and is now a really big nationwide bank. I work doing SharePoint management site management. After work I make soap, knit, ride my motorcycle, read, watch movies & eat. I ride a Yamaha V-Star 1300. I am pretty sure that I want to hike the Appalachian Trail someday, or possibly do a long-distance rowing trip. I'll be retiring in a few years, and hope to run a craft soap-making business to bring in some cash.
