Worked until about 8 last night, went home, sprayed the flower bed for weeds, went inside and did my 122 pushups and went to bed. Managed to get up this morning and do my 123. I'll put down the new mulch after work.

My ankles are happy again--ran on the treadmill this morning. It's supposed to be really warm for the next week or so, hopefully I can get outside again this weekend for another 5k practice. 18 days!

Good luck mani!!!

I'm alternating TRX days with running days now...until it gets too hot then I'm breaking out my newly tuned-up bike. ::drools::

Yes, we sort of did. There were a few good weeks. This spring is already better than last years even though there have only been a couple of weeks of it so far.

You know, I used to be able to do those, back when I was an olympian (dual gold medalist, gymnastics and weightlifting, 1996), but I just don't think I could pull them off today. I've really let myself go since then!


Side note: holy carp. Let me quit my job and become a full time gym rat, maybe I can make that happen!

Did my pushups at the gym last night. Arms gave out in the last set and I fell flat on my face. My nose is still sore today... d'oh! I was already giggling when some random guy rushed over to make sure I was ok. Then he quipped, in a dry tone, "I think ya found yer limit there!" in the tone that comedian would say, "here's your sign!" Hahaha. So, I rested for a few minutes, did my crunches, then did the remaining few pushups.

Now that's what I call "going to failure"!!

::does the appropriate "I'm not worthy" bow::

Hope your nose is ok.

Between back-aches and sick kids, I've missed the last two days (immediately after bragging that I have been keeping up while doing landscaping, etc).

So, I'm roughly 250 behind.

Planning on getting today's done tonight and beginning to catch up tomorrow.

Pushups in Korea will be a test!

Pushups in Korea will be a test!

why is gravity different on the other side of the would?

Will the time change hurt you or help you?

Pushups yesterday are much easier than pushups tomorrow!

If you time it right, it'll be like a giant game of catch with the world as the ball! Unfortunately for Pup, he'll have all of us pushing the planet back at him. That'll be a real workout!

What if we all run in the same direction?

And that direction was counter to the rotation of the planet? Would we go back in time like that one Pepsi (I think it was?) commercial??

New activity for June!!

::adds to itinerary::

I lose an entire day that I'll have to make up, and I can't see me ready for 150 pushups as soon as I step off the plane.

Mostly, it'll be a "time available" and "motivation" issue, I think.

Pretend you're in North Korea, then you'll have no option but to do them or face the consequences!

can't you pay someone like $1 to do them for you, and be your cook, maid, and chauffeur? That's what Charles Emerson Winchester III would have done...

Why are you waiting until you step off the plane? Shove that flight attendant and her drink cart out of the way, drop in the aisle and do your pushups, man! Just kidding. Sort of.

FWIW, I do think that I'll be able to get a lot of pushups done in my hotel room. I understand that Itaewon is a part of town similar to Las Vegas in that people are up all night. If I can't sleep, I might as well do pushups.

why not start front-loading the pushups now, then you can take time off when there

In Korea, they do them on their fists. Better knuckle up buddy!

Barefoot, on a floor sprinkled with broken glass.



My MWF workout, I have a few moves in the rotation that I skip either due to a lack of specific equipment, or being too silly to bother with. I substitute 25 decline push-ups in their place. It starts out one planned set of push-ups, but if I don't otherwise incorporate them, I get to the end of a rough 45 minute workout and still have all the rest of my push-ups to do, so this works out well.

So, yesterday for instance, I did all 128 as declines.
Today, I did all of mine during my core workout pre-run, then tried mixing up my run a bit. At the end of each mile, I dropped and did 10 front-clap push-ups. Doesn't seem like many, but it wasn't quite easy either!

I'm up to being able to do inclined one-arm, 3-4 of them is all, but still feel like I'm teetering on the edge of falling on my face! Need to keep mixing it up though, to keep things exciting.
