Didn't run this morning due to time constraints, though I should have as I plan to wear a midrift exposing Halloween costume tonight...I did do some pull ups though, so proud of that, not that I'll be showing off my 9" pythons, but whatever.

Also ran today and kinda ran hard, which I haven't done in a while, though many of my short slow runs have been hard if that makes any sense.  Not sure how many miles, or feet I covered, but still happy with the effort.

I was thinking about my blog post when doing Friday's push ups, so I did 27 more than I otherwise would have just so I would be able to post a cumulative total of 15,000...then I failed to post that day, weak.   In other news I ran on Friday, Saturday and this morning, plus I did some pull ups on Friday and again this morning, Becca's Ironman is having even longer motivational impact that I would've imagined.   Eyeing the 2016 LMI...

Cumulative total:     15,300

190 Push ups

• Tuesday -- streak extender
• Wednesday 135 total in following sets:   25, 25, 25, 30, 30
• Thursday -- streak extender extended by 5 reps

I did a short run on Wednesday as well, plan to run 2 more times this week as I ramp up the regularity if not much on mileage.   In other news, I don't use the push up app much, I should, I guess, but, well...the formatting on email took wind out of its sails I guess.

Cumulative total:   14,873

Also happy to report that I ran on Saturday and also today (Monday)...neither was especially noteworthy, but as one was 5+ miles and the other was 4+ miles that is pretty good for me lately.   I'm no Laura Brandenburg, but I'm trying.

Ran Thursday as well, decided to run around downtown Houston this time, like all big cities it was noticeable for its homeless population and smell of urine.   Also somewhat shocked at the amount of traffic at 6am, but yeah, it's a big city.

PUSH UP DAY 222

150 Push ups

Ran 4.65 miles on Leeland St. starting from Chenevert St. to Monroe St. and back, here in Houston, TX.   I passed this place, which had a line out the door at 6 something in the morning.... http://www.brotherstacohouse.com/BrothersTacoHouse/home.html
I may need to check it out as a place to eat before it is sold.  

Cumulative total:   14,243

PUSH UP DAY 221

25 Push ups

• Streak extender

I feel like I should do 43 push ups today, or 10, then 6, the 72...or would that need to be 10 then 6 the 1,972?  Yikes, we'll stick with the streak extender today as I have much to do as I am back in Houston for another conference, which means I have to get all regular work done before and after work hours each day.   Anyway, all is well on my end, carry on.
