Better start hitting the pushup challenge if I hope to pull this one off:

Still unclaimed

Hard to believe, isn't it?

Mishka - here's some hints from push up specialists

Very informative, yes.

Okay, so my first response was: sweet. This is going to be quite the RA party. Then I decided to check out your log. I know you've had some injuries. And I see your training is coming along great. Wow. Good for you. Then I decide to check you PRs. I remembered that you were fast ... just not the specifics.

Yeah, things seem to be going right. Got some nagging tendinitis in both knees that just needs to get gone. Other than that, I'm busy being inspired by you fools around here and really buying into the miles = fast thing. This running now...it's almost a different sport than what I grew up on. I was a just-above-average cross country runner with wheels and could get away with 40-50 miles per week. It worked as long as I never had to race more than 2 miles. Now that I'll never race anything under 2 miles, I've had to rethink and relearn just about everything. I fell like I'm in the 2nd grade of running school. This place is great for that. Public logs, great forum discussions (where I mostly lurk) and tons of idiots trying different things. It's like a big continuous science project that pops out good performances, bad performances, huge PRs, injuries and lots of pictures of boobs. Pretty much everything, you know? Thanks for the kudos on the PRs, but all those in the 3's are ancient history. I can't see touching anything like that (and staying healthy) for much more than 1/2 a lap. I tried to build back toward it last year. Failed miserably. Lesson learned. I'm a distance guy now.
