On this Friday the 13th, after a week of long working days, I did a one-mile run at easy pace on the treadmill before heading home. I then got my second wind after doing some stretching and headed out and accomplished 5.3 miles of running at an easy pace around the neighborhoods surrounding the vacant-Cottonwood-Mall lot.
For my non-running workout, I commenced the push-up challenge that I learned about from my fellow runners/bloggers (www.hundredpushups.com). I was only able to due 21 good-form push-ups and was completely exhausted afterwards. Since my arms were uncontrollably shaking while doing my 21st push-up, I will start out on week 1 of the program on Monday (i.e., by doing over 20 push-ups on the initial test, one can skip ahead to week 3). I also did 500 sit-ups, 12 bridges (held each for approximately 10 seconds), 20 metronomes, 90 (30, 16 lbs) curls, and 50 (60, 50 lbs) reverse curls. |
