PUSH UP DAY 222

150 Push ups

• 6 sets of 25 reps each

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.

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.

And now how 'bout 7,000 words-ish about Becca's Ironman...

Fueling up at 4:30am

Body marked

Thinly nervous

Look, there she is...thankfully didn't need services of business pictured

Flowing like a river...

Done

Yeah

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.
