Back to Work

Today was my first day back to work since holiday break. Starting with "hump" day... not a bad way to start the week. Not real overwhelming as I work remotely when I am not traveling. I travel a fair amount for my job, so it is good not be away this week. I am trying very hard to keep my travel to a minimum during this testing cycle. Unfortunate for my team at work as I will be delegating more travel to them. :-)  Nate did another day of exercises and it is going pretty well. I believe my biggest challenge is with pull-ups. I bought a pull up bar for the house (one of those that hooks onto the door jam), and so Nate and I can practice. They are definitely going to be what I need work on the most in the coming weeks to improve. If anyone has any suggestions to how to improve, then I will gladly take some advice and counsel. One last note is that it is cold outside... especially to run, but I like running outside better than a treadmill.

cold. very cold.
