Push-ups

At work today

I ran two miles around the station followed by 41-minutes on the recumbent bike. The run pace was much faster than it felt. Other than the pace, both events were uneventful.

While riding the bike I listened to another episode from Endurance Planet. I’ve quickly become addicted to Endurance Planet podcast. It’s an online newscast for MY SPORT’S.

Run:
2.1 miles
20:39
9:50 pace

Recumbent Bike:
10.3 miles
41:00
15.07 mph

I going to re-do week four of the push-up challenge. Today I was only able to complete the first set. I continued the workout with as many push-ups as possible, followed by modified push-ups. The workout is below. The first column is the scheduled number of push-ups, column two is the amount of normal push-ups I completed, and the third column is the number of modified push-ups.

An hour later, I completed the sets that I wasn't able to complete without modified push-ups. During those last four sets I had to incorporate 20-30 minute recovery breaks in between sets.
