10-4-4-4. Still damp out, but much cooler than yesterday.
Something that has helped me a lot with keeping these small workouts consistent is reminding myself that:
- Failure is fine
- The work done today will have consequences in a future workout, not today's.
Also, I have this "magical "challenge thinking" I picked up when I was a child that I'm trying to dispel. It takes the form of "If I do this well, this completely unrelated thing I want to happen will happen."
I think the earliest instance of it was "if I run to the slide in the backyard and run back before the microwave completes its run, I won't be irradiated."
There's been a few days in which I've been angry about something the Nazis did. (This is the time we live in.) And I caught myself thinking, if I do 11 in this set, I will be able to crush the Nazis. For the most part, Nazis will probably not be crushed by upper body strength-endurance. And even if that were the case, they can be hauled up just as well by someone that does 10 pull-ups in a set as by someone that does 11.
Keeping things as reasonable and low-pressure as possible has allowed me to be consistent.
