This blog will contain random thoughts, musings, and stuff that happened to me. Don't expect anything to exciting.
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.
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.
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!
I just finished my Day 3, Week 2 push-up workout. I did 79 push-ups in about 12 minutes. So I’m up 11 push-ups versus last week, which isn’t too bad. How are you doing?
We’re up in Vancouver for a few days. I’m working during the day, and we’re going out at night. I love this city. I’d move here if I could. Great people, great restaurants, great outdoors, all of it.
I wish everyone a great Fourth of July!
I just finished day 3 of week 1 of the push up regimen. I feel the burn:)
I just did 68 pushups in about 12 minutes. I didn’t do them all at once, but in five blocks, with 120 second breaks between. It may not sound like much, but that’s more pushups within 12 minutes than I’ve probably done all month outside of this program. My last group of pushups was 20. Which means that even after doing 48 pushups before that group, I was still able to do MORE pushups than I could from a fresh start at the beginning of the week. Huge fan.
On a side note, I’m going to see Wanted tonight! I’m totally looking forward to it.
