PUSH UP DAYS 655-677

875 Push ups

• Streak extenders from day 655-676 and then 325 today.

Comment:   Stitches are out, one are push up days are over and I even got great news from a doctor friend who did some informal tests and gave his opinion that I have not torn anything in my right shoulder and can therefore resume any/all exercise I had been avoiding.   (He says I probably strained it and it may take as long as 9 months to fully recover, but I can't make it worse using it, so therefore I will.   As for how it happened, you're thinking too many push ups, but I truly believe it is a result of being ill-prepared to play disc golf as aggressively as I was about 3 months ago, anyway, back to pursuit of high volume push ups).

Cumulative total: 
67,523   (less than 100 per day, which I intend to remedy  -- truth be known, I'm certain I did a number of uncounted sets of 25 during my overlong streak extender streak, so I probably never dropped below 100 per day, but this motivates me so I won't go back and try to put together the notes from the past 3 weeks to prove anything to myself.)    

PUSH UP DAYS 642-654

625 Push ups

• December 7th, I did 325 push ups in sets of 25....every other day has been a streak extender day of at least 25 reps, sometimes I did 30+, but I can't remember which days, so therefore I'm not=]counting those additional reps.   Only noteworthy detail is that since the 7th I have been completing each streak extender effort semi-one-handed...not completely one-handed because I can't really do 1 handed push ups left handed.   Anyway, see below photo showing reason for this form alteration:

Ran last night as well, short and slow, but can report that I like my new running shoes better than I liked my last pair.

PUSH UP DAYS 629-638

860 Push ups

• 8 of the days were streak extenders, one of which was an in-airport effort with Finn sitting on my back :).   (Mobile airport to pick up Uncle Ben)
• Wednesday Nov. 23 was 430 push ups in these sets: 10, 15: 15x24+25+10+20+15
• Today was 230 push ups in sets of 25 with final 2 sets being 15 reps each

Having shoulder issues, probably because I failed to warm up on more than one occasion.  

Cumulative total:   65,693


Running, I ran today, not far, not fast, but felt decent considering that I am getting over a cold.

In other news, I am up to date, within a week anyway (two trips over Thanksgiving weekend haven't been posted, but my practice of great delinquency has had the positive result of my personal justification that if I post within a month of a trip I'm not considering myself behind), with this blog:
