Another test day, another boost!

--Increased # of push-ups in 1 min by 2
--Increased # of squats in 1 min by 6 (12.5%)
--Shoulder press improved by 5 (another 12.5% improvement)

And the best???
--I took 40 secs off my PB on our timed 1 km run!
--Held plank position for the full 2 mins (12 secs longer than last time and 55 secs longer than 6 weeks ago - nearly 100%!)

I think I'm acclimating better to the altitude but I don't think my improved speed is just attributable to that. At least let's hope not. My numbers on some of the tests are staying the same but I know my form is better and I'm accomplishing far more range of motion so I'm very satisfied with the same numbers on some. A dip all the way down and up takes a lot more time and strength than weenie little bobs.

I think my legs are getting strong enough to protect my knees skiing so maybe a little experimenting with some backcountry nordic this weekend. Wish me luck! Or rather, wish my wimpy knees luck.

--SK, feeling pretty darn positive this morning.
