Today was Day 2 of the 6 week pushup program and with only 3 hours sleep under my belt and a school day I wondered, "Do I have it in me today?" Enter the competitive spirit, "Yes you do. Now get down there and start!" I got down on hands and knees with the program paper nearby because apparently I can't remember the numbers in the sets for more than a minute at a time! (I think I had better start doing "brain gym" on a regular basis too.)
Back to the pushups. I did 10,12, 8,8 and the min. number of 12 for the 5th set. So, ta da 50 pushups ! Okay, so there were the recommended rests of 60, 90 or 120 seconds inbetween the sets ... but my arms feel like they were consecutive.
Can't forget the miles ... I logged 2-3 miles towards the 100 mile challenge. Exact mileage unknown as the training group was cruising the streets of Manchester.
And for the record, according to my hubby, who saw the evening walking group go by the restaurant where he was staying warm and having dinner, I have nice headlights. Hmmm.

It's good for a blog to include a touch of the risqué.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying the blog and wondering if I could ever do 100 pushups—but not enough to commit yet.
