100 push up challenge Tuesday

[MAYNARDSMOM]

Good morning. Sorry for the lack of posts over the weekend, I had a 3 day weekend & didn't get on the computer.
Today was pyramid upper body so I did week 4 day 1 of the push up challeng
16 - 13 - 13 stopped there but will tack on the other 11 - then my max later. I did good on pyramid until those biceps - WOW!!

I'm off kilter again. DD was home for a long weekend so I spent time with her and not my push-ups!
Friday should've been Week 3, day 3, but didn't happen, so I was going to try yesterday...but.... we did German volume training for bis/tris (with real, big girl dips on those nasty parallel bars; assisted of course! I made 8 sets of 8-10 OUCH!!!!!!)/and lats then ran a 5k practice race so by the time I got back from the Y I was a giant bowl of jello! I was going to try again today....hahaha!!! maybe by NEXT Tuesday?!?!?!?!
I did do a 2 mile run plus 30 minutes of HIIT on the elliptical followed by abs. Our town is having a 5k fundraiser Saturday for a young man who was paralyzed after a car crash about 18 months ago. It will be my first *race* ever. I'm excited/nervous, but it's for a good cause and I'll know lots of people running so I think it'll be fun! OMG!!! Did I really just say a 5k run would be fun!?!?!? What has happened to me?!?!?!?!
I hope everyone had a great week-end! I'm looking forward to being amazed by your numbers this week!

Good luck with your race. That's nice that your town is doing something for him.

Don't worry about the push-ups. The floor will always be there

Hi Gals! Great job on your pushups Tami! Good luck on your race Becky!!! Sounds like a great cause!

I was supposed to do the week 5 test, but my shoulders are BOTH sore now. Not sure what's up with that. I decided to do a cardio workout (Step Works), but couldn't get into it. So I pulled out one of my faves: IMAX2. I've been feeling very punchy lately (hormonal, I'm guessing), and that one is great for working off the stress. Didn't quite get it finished, though, because my DD came running in the room upset about something that had happened on the bus. (Nothing that serious.) So Cathe had to wait while I calmed her down.

We also took a long family walk this evening. I am worn out!
