  • Run 5k

Results: Pullups 9-9-8. Dips 12-12-12. Jumping Muscle Ups worked better than I expected. Started with a high step and was able to reduce it down to just 3 risers once I got the transition down. Saved the run for later in the day so there was about a 5 hour pause between the gymnastics session and the run.
