Being an Adult

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

The best part about being an adult is that you can spend Sunday afternoon on the couch watching cartoons, eating raw cookie dough, and playing video games.

Push Ups

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

Week 4, Day 2: 112 pushups. My arms are still twitching a bit…. Good times.

OMG Push Ups

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

So I’ve officially crossed from having my pecs be the weak link, to my triceps. They hurt.

105 push ups in 8 minutes exactly.

Week 3, Day 1 - Still More Push Ups

Monday, July 7th, 2008

Man, that’s a lot of push ups. I just finished Week 3, Day 1. I started out a little sore from the set of 35 I did yesterday, but made it trough today’s work out:

99 push ups in 6 minutes

Sweet!

Also, I went running/jogging/walking this morning. Second day in a row, so my legs are a bit sore, but I feel good about having done it.

Vancouver and Push Ups

Sunday, July 6th, 2008

We spent three days in Vancouver. It’s a lovely train ride there and back, about four hours right along the water, so you can look out and see the ocean, and on the way up at least seven bald eagles - which was amazing. I really love Vancouver. It’s a very clean city, nice people, lots to do. We stay in Yaletown, which is a pretty hip area, with about 50 amazing resturaunts within walking distance, some great clothing stores, nice hotels, and the most beautiful people I’ve found. 9 out of 10 men and omen you see on the street there look like models, and are well dressed and generally put together. It’s a sharp contrast to the general Seattle look which is all too often flip flops and ratty sweatpants.

We had a good time, I only wish it was a longer trip, but Emma’s work schedule makes it hard. I can really work from anywhere I have a good network connection, so it’s easy for me to work during the day in any city, and then go have fun and explore after 5.

I also did my post-week 2 push up retest, and managed to bang out 35 in a row. That’s just over double what I could do two weeks ago. I also got up at 6:45 this morning and went for a run/jog/walk to the gym, which was closed:(, and back. So I’m feeling pretty good.

I hope you all had a great 4th of July!
