Are You Going to the Basketball Game

Went to bed around 2230. Got up around 0730 after a mediocre night's sleep. Was awake or restless a total of 58 minutes, so only got 7.75 hours sleep. But somehow I didn't start working out until 1039.
What the heck was I doing for three hours? I didn't do any chores. I just read a bit.

It was much colder today than yesterday. Once again since I have trained eleven days in a row,  I again decided to just do my performance prep and then decide whether to do my kettlebell practice or not. I also decided to add in one superset of push ups and Australian pull ups to get in a little direct upper body work. All of that took 21:01.

And I felt good. Therefore on to kettlebells. I was in my 7th or 8th set of swings when my spouse came outside and asked me if I was still going to the Furman Univ. men's basketball game which tipped off at noon. I said yes, but it was after 1100 and the game was to tip off at 1200.

I finished my swings in normal fashion but pretty much raced through the get ups. I believe I still used good form, I just moved quickly and took minimal rest. I only took 6:25 to do the get ups. Total kettlebell practice time 17:25.

And yes, we made it to the game on time. Furman beat The Citadel 83 - 68. Go Paladins! And I got in 9042 steps yesterday.
