Peet's k00l sp@ce

With moving Kat on Friday and Saturday, I haven't done my day 3 yet.  I'll do that later today.  I'm also going to start the lunges today.  Huzzah!

Just about to go to bed and realized that I forgot to do this.

 

pushups: 10, 12, 8, 8, 12 = 50 (barely)

situps(crunches): 15, 18, 17, 15, 57 = 122 (not that bad)

 

I definately need to move down a level with the pushups and moving up a level for the crunches was fine.  I just saw there is also "200 squats".... maybe I'll work it into a triad next week.

,Ok, today is done, the first day: 10, 12, 7 ,7 ,12 for a total of 48.  I had to use more than the 60 seconds between the sets but I was ableto do it so it's a good start.  I'm wondering if I should have choosen level 2 instead of level 3.  I'm going to be sore tomorrow.

 

I went for the 200 situps too today.  Since I've recently read about the horrors of situps on one's back (citation needed), I decided to do crunches instead.  Granted these are easier than situps.  Maybe I should go for 300?  I decided to start at level 2 since I was kinda borderline level 3 in the initial test.  Today I did 9, 9, 6, 6, 35 for a total of 65...  I only had to do 38.  Maybe level 3 would have been fine there.

Alright, I've seen this for a while and have decided to finially do it: 100 pushups.

 

 

The idea is that in 6 weeks you'll be able to do 100 consecutive pushups.  I'm starting off at rank 3 (15-29 in the initla test) or "Set 3"  which puts me at a total of 45, 50 and 57 push ups next Monday, Wednesday and Friday.... halfway there already?

 

Anyway, I didn't want to put this in facebook so I figured a Live Space would work well.  I'll update this as I complete each day and step up the levels.  If for some reason I miss posting, please poke me to make sure I've done it... I tend to forget some times.

 

...maybe I should start 200 Situps at the same time...

Well, that's the Scotland portion of my trip over now.  I'm sad of course but it's always nice to get home.  The flight was uneventful (the way I like them) and I managed to only sleep about 30 minutes; a good thing.  We're all packed in our vans now and have a 4 hour ride back to Binghampton then an hour ride up to Cortland from my cousiin.  I should be home by 22:00 just in time to pass out and sleep wonderfully.

 

Hanging out with Ross yesterday was fun.  We grabbed lunch at a microbrewery in Glasgow with litres of beer, did some CD shopping and then more beer back near the train station.  I rode the train back to Edinburgh far too early and ran into some scouts from Maryland.  By sheer coincidence, Fudge walked by as we were loading bags into the van so I left my bags with them and went off for a ouple more pints and a wander around the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.  It was a nice final visit before meeting back up with the scouts at about 10pm. 

 

Today has been largely uneventful and I'm completely worn out.  I'll update more later.
