I've run on an off for the past couple weeks, nothing inspiring....mental stress has much more of an affect on me physically than physical stress does, good news is that I think I'm on the other side of the stress cycle now so may soon be time to think of a new odd challenge.   We'll see!

Failed to run this morning, guess the October motivation has been short lived...

PUSH UP DAY 577-581

869 Push ups

• Streak extender
• Streak extender + 25 in CHS airport and 25 in CLT airport
• Streak extender
• 719 in sets that looked like this:7, 6. 13, 23, 12, 5, 3, 11, 5, 11, 11, 2, 22, 11, 48, 7, 32, 25, 4, 6, 1, 18, 20, 5, 6, 7, 1, 2 ---------- 14, 1, 11, 6, 5, 2, 48, 9, 10, 2, 7, 36, 4, 35, 20, 25, 15, 2, 7, 5, 11, 39, 7, 1, 4, 7, 4, 2, 8, 5, 6, 4, 4, 2, 12, 5, 5, 3, 2.   Strange looking perhaps, but not so when understanding the method, which I'll explain now:   My beloved Auburn Tigers were playing football against a team that we basically paid to come in and give us a chance to work on our plays, while losing to us in such a manner that our fans would have fun etc.  Knowing this I decided to devise a game related workout for the day to multitask and get a good workout in.   Pre-game I assumed we (the Auburn team) would end up gaining between 400-600 yards total offense and give up roughly 10 first downs, so I decided to do 1 push up for every Auburn yard gained and 5 pull ups for every 1st down given up by our defense.   Then I decided that if we lost yardage on any offensive plays that I also needed to do some sort of exercise move to recognize that lousiness as well, so I decided I'd also do 1 burpee for each yard lost.   Well, Auburn played pretty well on offense and gave up more first downs than anticipated on defense, so the final result was:    719 Push ups, 70 pull ups, 25 burpees    Fairly taxing for me, but all much easier to tolerate when game ends in a 58-7 score for the good guys.

I ran today too, it's October, which being my birth-month, seems to motivate me to get back on the running horse each year...we'll see if it lasts this year, but good start this morning with maybe close to 3 miles at a leisurely pace -- more details as I get into it, assuming that I will.
