PUSH UP DAYS 212-214

284 Push Ups

• 26 Sunday, showing my brother-in-law my new push up app...he wasn't really interested, but he's my brother in law so I figured he had to watch.  The boys (his and mine) were interested in me doing push ups in the middle of a closed road awaiting Ironman competitors, one of which was Becca, because they thought it was fun to sit on me while doing push ups, thankfully they only did so for 7 or 8 of the set.
• 30 Monday, felt like I had been hit by a truck...Ironman spectating ain't for the weak, like me.
• 228 Tuesday, well, the export log feature I was excited about isn't quite as user friendly as I had hoped...it exports a .csv file and today's effort looked like this:
• 41 34004 169649 1 2795 648 15 12564 1617 15 18531 148485 29 26115 134398 20 21271 164244 26 24042 234537 31 25302 190480 25 23909   
• Yeah, well, when I look at the log on my phone it is much easier to read, so still helpful, but...

I also ran today...actually I have been running 2-3 times a week for a while now, just short runs, but after being inspired over the weekend I've decided I actually want to start running again, so I figure I'll mention runs on this push up blog as a way to create some level of accountability, so, NEL, please chime in when you see me go too many days without logging a run.   Thank you.

PUSH UP DAYS 207-211

352 Push ups

• 25 Tuesday Streak extender
• 135 Wednesday sets of 25, 35, 35, 25, 20
• 25 Thursday Streak extender
• 141 Friday sets of 25, 30, 30, 30, 26 (downloaded a push up app that counts my reps for me, so now I guess my "one or 2 extra in case I mis-counted" will actually be counted)
• 26 Saturday (the app counter robot lady actually stuttered, seriously...maybe I was doing them too fast?   Anyway, that meant she was a rep behind and then caught up by counting one more after I had finished, it was strange, which isn't hard to believe when realizing I'm using an app on a phone to count push up reps)

Becca's Ironman tomorrow.

PUSH UP DAYS 202-206

420 Push Ups

• 50 -- 25 in IAH at gateA26
• 25
• 100 -- sets of 25
• 25
• 220 -- sets of 25, 25, 25, 25, 35, 35, 25, 25

Day 206 reminds me of my freshman year room number -- F206.   It was a suite of sorts shared with a guy from outside the Atlanta perimeter, a guy from Louisville, KY and my great roommate from Milwaukee, WI, Mr. Jon Paul Kuelz.   I could tell amazing stories about Jon for hours, but related to this post I'll just share that he also educated me of the meaning-of/connotations-associated-with the number 420.   I plan to see him this weekend and am really looking forward to it, though not for any reason associated with the number or time of 4-2-0.

PUSH UP DAYS 194-196

200 Push ups

• 25 streak extender
• 150 broken into 6 sets of 25 standard push ups -- realized slope of my back+legs may be a bit steep, so altered by rising rear end slightly to maintain straightest possible lines...would write more about this, but in order to feel justified in my claim as having the most boring blog in existence it is best for me to stop there

On day 192 I had intention to do push ups on a paddle board, which I actually had access to and everything...but I slept in, so I just decided on a streak extender.

Do you think anyone is willing to pay me to advertise on this blog simply because it is the most boring blog on the internet right now?   That makes it pretty special and someday that has to catch on and blow up readership, right?

Can't accurately recall all details of each, just have my single number per day hand written notes to go by...I've definitely fallen off the wagon as a detailed blogger and actually as a motivated push up guy too, but I don't dread them so hoping I may get motivated again at some point.   Saw a 100 push ups a day for 30 day challenge that I might try, but my body seems to tell me I'm a bit old to not have very light days...eh...I guess we'll see if I try that or not.
