Personal Best

This morning I've been thinking about why I workout at the gym, besides the fact that it's something that I truly enjoy. Why do I try to row more meters than the day before? Why do I continue to hold plank when I think my core muscles are going to stop working? Why do I try for one more chin-up?

I think it's because I love achieving a personal best. I love knowing where I started and seeing how far I've come. I love seeing improvement.

Today I held plank for a minute and 30 seconds. First time ever. Personal best. I also had a personal best at the chin-ups and dips weight machine.

I used to track all my personal bests in my food journal. I think it's time that I started doing that again.

Just a few days until Christmas and I'm thinking about my workouts for the rest of the week. Probably running outside a few days, and working out at the gym a few days.
