I haven't posted in a while, though I have been continuing the push ups and doing much running. Some NCAA tourneys, family visits and such have kept me from the blog.

March 26: Exhaustion test: 60 push ups. A bit better than the 50 from my last exhaustion.
I need to get back into the push ups. I did not do a third day last week, and have less motivation at the moment. I have still been running and working out. I am trying to lose a few pounds. Each Sunday morning I do a weigh in on the Wii and record my weight. A week ago Sunday I lost 1 pound, this past Sunday I lost 2. I have been running quite a bit each week and doing some weights too. I feel pretty good with all that I've managed to fit in lately.
My week 5 numbers: Day 1, max 35; Day 2, max 45; Day 3, max 50. I followed the suggested rest times, but I rested 2 minutes before each final set. I'm going to move on to week 6 starting next week.
Don't worry, I will continue.
