Ran with boys both yesterday and today -- Case did a .37 mile run each day:   First day at 11:30/mi pace and second day at 10:30 /mi pace, which was pretty strong.   Finn just runs about 100 yards down the hill, screams, "I won!" then turns around and runs back up, making certain I can't draw even with him by boxing me out and then says more calmly "I won" again when reaching our mailbox.   Trying to ramp Case up to 3 miles a week so he can log 25 miles total before January 10 when he has been signed up to run a 1.2 mile race thus completing the 26.2 mile marathon distance over a 6 week period.

PUSH UP DAYS 259-261

390 Push ups

• Streak extender plus 5

Felt stronger today most likely as a result of taking it easy this weekend -- no running or other physically taxing activity as I simply tried to survive the weekend without Becca.  Boys and I did well, but super SUPER glad she returns today!   We did go play putt putt, but most of the rest of the weekend was spent eating Waffle House, McDonald's and sugar sandwiches.  

Cumulative push up total:    18,320   (pending my ability to maintain consistency of 3 volume days per week I should now be over the "ave. 70/day" hump, but as always, time will tell)

PUSH UP DAYS 257 and 258

260 Push ups

• Streak extender + 5
• 230 in these sets:   25, 50, 50, 30, 30, 45

Didn't run today because Becca is off to get into trouble with her renegade AZ friends...or maybe it was because I ran yesterday?   Anyway, big accomplishment for this morning was getting both boys dressed, fed and off to school with lunches and hair combed.  Can't believe Becca manages that mission impossible episode every single day?!   I have to pull it off again Monday, sigh...
