Today, I took advantage of the nice weather and biked to work (32.2 miles roundtrip). It’s nice to get a jump start on the day! Since I had an early morning meeting, I did not get in a run before work; however, following work I hopped on the treadmill for 6.2 miles. In regards to this distance, 2.1 miles was at an easy pace and 4.1 miles was at marathon pace. In addition to running two miles in my Vibram Five Fingers, it felt great to break in my new pair of Adidas Sequence that I picked up on Saturday for the big race on the 24th.
It was another try at day eleven (i.e., week 4, day 2) of the Push-up Challenge for me. This time, I accomplished a total of 126 push-ups over the following five sets that consisted of 25, 25, 25, 25, and 26 push-ups. Even though the progress is slow, the good news is that I’m feeling stronger since I was able to complete these push-ups after my run on the treadmill and bike ride home. In addition, I was able to completed 200 sit-ups, 10 metronomes, 120 (30, 16 lbs) curls, and 20 (50 lbs) reverse curls. |
