Unusual, but interdependent, Metrics and Mini Goals

"blood pressure of 160/95 is pathological, 120/70 is normal or healthy, and 105/55 is consistent with an athlete's blood pressure"

-Crossfit Journal


I am advancing steadily toward my two strategic goals:
a) 500lb deadlift
b) sub 4 hour marathon


Mini goals along the way provide both a close target and a way to feel accomplished in the near term.

My two mini goals (deadline August) will be:

a) to shrink waist to the point where I can fit into size 34 lucky jeans
b) to lower my blood pressure to 105/55


Both goals are best met by dropping bodyfat. Contrary to long held opinion, it has been discovered that adipose tissue is not inactive. It's very active, especially in influencing cytokines, and factors into blood pressure.

More later.
