Woefully delinquent about posting for a whole month. Must be all the walking and pushups. Suffice it to say that yes, I can now do 100 "modified" pushups ... almost consecutively. I find myself completing 50. Then pausing (straight-armed, in pushup position) and counting to about 15 ... then doing another 20... repeating this... doing 20. And then a final 10. I also had about 125 miles completed by March 13th. So I completed this challenge. And I find myself continuing to do sessions of 100 pushups, once or twice a week. Good for the arms. And the training continues for the Great Bay Half-Marathon (race is in 2 weeks!). The past 3 weekends I have walked 10, 12 and 10 miles. This weekend I completed a 14 mile training session! That's right more than a half-marathon. Apparently this is a mental game as well as a physical one. Knowing that I have walked more than the half-marathon distance is supposed to empower me. ell, maybe on race day it will!
Today - yes it feels good to have walked that far (and in good company I might add- thanks to my pals Alice and Liz). But I still think the best part of my morning was sitting down with these two ladies and each of us enjoying a bagel, egg and cheese sandwich... and a cup of coffee!!
