Added 2023-01-06 00:02:33 +0000 UTCWorking on building back my upper body strength. One day at a time 😮💨 🏃🏼♀️ started with a 14min mile warm up 💪🏻 did a 20rep buildup chest press and reached a new max of 80lbs 🎉 🏃🏼♀️ ran an 11min mile 💪🏻 finished off with 2 pull ups About 8 years ago I was diagnosed with a heart condition that caused me to become very weak in my chest. I went from being, as my classmates called it, a “pull up queen” (I set the school record for a female athlete at 26 reps) to barely being able to 1 rep within a week. It was very difficult for me mentally and physically. I still struggle with it, but I’m so proud of myself for working towards gaining that strength back and overcoming my condition. Although my form was not great for the second rep, I’m so proud of myself for following through 🥰
