You can exsist on a couch, but you can't live. After I gave up on being a college football stud (humor font), I played rugby. The shirts were cool, but go with flag football. You will get damaged less! We'll see. 3 years of sand volleyball and I haven't managed to injure myself at all (here's hoping I continue my streak!), but I suppose it depends on how agressively people pursue my flags. Didn't even know we had a league around here until someone asked me about it last week. Of course, it's on Sundays, my day of "rest", but oh well! Haha, I've been playing sand volleyball for 15 years with only 1 sprained ankle, but just trying to walk I broke my ankle! It doesn't take sports for me to injure myself! (We won't talk about how I broke my other ankle playing co-ed softball...I really should have gotten out of the way, but I held on to the ball, and he was out!! ) Anyway, be careful, my son has been playing flag football the last couple of years (of course it's with 3rd & 4th graders), and it very often turns into tackle!!

Went out for 2nd run last night after work, it's like May or something crazy here, shouldn't be in the 80's in March! Lapping the trail at my favorite park, everybody was there walking dogs and frisbee golfing, was a great taste of summer. (aka short shorts everywhere! )

Our park was almost identical to yours.
Except for the frisbee golfing.......

The weather is crazy great here right now!! Got off the treadmill and started to hit the streets last week... unfortunately, I am out in the country and have all hills around me, and they are freaking killing me. Just keep saying "The hills are my friend, the hill are my friend...." Its a lie, but keep saying it anyway!

Except for the frisbee golfing....... I believe Iowa is second in the nation (after Texas) for number of frisbee golf courses. Why, I have no idea, but I think we have 4 in town here. Yes, I play, no I don't drink and smoke the reefer while I do. (that's the stereotype about people that play, for those of you that don't know much about the game) Also, B^3, they are getting shorter, but not always on the right people! Mine are a bit above the knee, but not enough to be inappropriate

I seriously hope you dont get any like the ones I saw here a week ago when I was 83. I think on a man, they would qualify as a speedo! Fixed. But yeah, they're nothing like that! I wouldn't wear them out in public just for fun, but they're not short enough that I'd be embarassed to be seen by people I know. They leave plenty to the imagination.

Who all is still doing pushups? I dont even necessarily mean keeping up with the actual challenge (but that would be cool). I mean just doing them. It is the "pushup challenge thread" after all..... :raises hand: There's one.

Two.
I've done at least the daily minimum...daily!
I try to do more most of the time, and it works most of the time.

FINALLY ABOVE the gnat line

Had to ease up with the shoulder. Go back to the doc on April 11th so guess he will tell me then what I can do.

My back and shoulders are getting tighter, probably need to have a few days of just doing the minimum to recover a bit. At the same time, I notice some definite differences in things being a bit more toned and bulky than they used to be. (When I'm flexing in front of the mirror after I work out)
