Sixteen Tons and Whaddaya Get?


Two or three times in the last few months I've reached new personal bests at Planet Fitness, but I didn't post about it because after I set a goal of lifting 16 tons the personal bests just seemed like rungs on the ladder. Tonight though I thought I had reached my goal and went to ride on the recumbent bike, when I realized I was still 500 lbs. under the goal. 'Cause you know, math is hard.
After I finished riding the bike I went back to one more station and got it done. When we first started 10 months ago I was lifting 30 lbs. 30 times at each station, with a minimum of 10, or just over four tons of weight.
Tonight I lifted 33,300 lbs. in about 40 minutes, 1300 lbs. over 16 tons, and rode the bike for 15 minutes. Now I can take it easy, right? Or am I going to have to set a new goal?
