This Friday the 13th I ran 1.7 miles on the treadmill at marathon pace after work. In addition, when I got home I went on a 3.5-mile easy-pace run outside that included four laps around the softball complex at Big Cottonwood Park.
My non-running workout consisted of 420 sit-ups, 150 (40, 30, 16 lbs) curls, and 20 (60, 50 lbs) reverse curls. Also, after my run I tried to do day nine (i.e., week 3, day 3) of the Push-up Challenge and was unable to complete set two which requires 30 push-ups. I did finish the 22 push-ups for set one and in the second set I did 18 push-ups for a total of 40 push-ups. Since I was a little tired, I will try day nine of the Push-up Challenge tomorrow morning to see how far I can get. However, unless I have a lot more strength tomorrow, I’m positive I will be repeating week three. It’s disappointing to have to repeat weeks, but I will eventually complete the push-up challenge even if it takes me sixty weeks instead of the advertised six weeks. |
