Boo ya. Way to go spaniel.

 

How 'bout this for the next stunt. Beer mile and push up duathalon. July 14th seems a good day.

I am up for dropping for a set at the conclusion of the beer mile.

Actually, you're stealing my idea for the December 2012 throw-down...combo of improvement over the mile and in pushups done immediately after finishing.  Great minds think alike I guess.

This is graduation week, Completed 100 - barely, not wanting to put myself through this another day allowed me to will my way for the last 8-10, very happy considering I could not go over 40 when we started this.

 

Now there is no way I am doing pushups after a beer mile.  I might drown in my own vomit. 

Awesome!  Graduate #4.  Yes, the desire to have it over helped me this afternoon too, especially after getting so close this morning.

Tell you what...show up for the beer mile and I will let you out of the pushups...

Thanks Spaniel, but you picked the one day in July that I can't go or its kind of tough logistically.  

 

What's the actual time of the beer mile, I might be completely wasted with the Half marathon in the morning, and a 7-8 hour drive, but I'll see if I can make it by 5 PM (can probably make that if not stopping for Lunch), then you can all have the time of your life watching me try to finish the 3rd and 4th beer, after you are done running, showered and changed.

3:30 or 4 was the consensus.  But the track will still be here at 5, and you would have a hell of a cheering section on hand (and still make the party).

Congrats HF and Spaniel!

W3C1D2, max 19 on Friday.  Trying to complete my first week column tonight.

 

Any of you graduates plan to keep doing workouts and see how high of a count you can get?

C-R is apparently on a mission for 125. 

I plan on switching to weights and go through a multi-month training plan I have there to push my bench max up.  I will likely do 1 day of pushups after every two bench days.  As the benching is more strength-oriented, I will focus the pushup day more on the aerobic part (like Week 6 D2/3 type of stuff).  My guess is that I will still see my pushups improve by approaching it this way.

I also want to add in back/bicep work for a more rounded approach.

I'll likely continue as well, at least to maintain the hard earned strength, I'll likely also try to improve my pull ups now as I recently discovered that I can't even do 7 of them, used to be able to pull off 20-25, or  3 sets of 12 before this running addiction.

Finally moving forward again.

 

W4-D1-C1, Final Set=18

 

I'll probably be repeating days to get through this. I predict I'll be done some time in 2015.

You and me both Richard!

I started over with week 4 today since i couldn't get week 5 after two tries.  I'm having pain in the muscles

 under my right arm and around right shoulder blade area which isn't helping.  MTA: Not to imply that this pain

stopped me from finishing week 5...It's a new pain.

W4-D1-C1  max- 17

 Spaniel!!! Congratulations man! Fast AND strawng, that's a deadly combination!

102, I am done!  I really wanted another couple to hammer it home but it simply was not there.  My pecs are burning (they are the weakest link now) and I feel like I just ran a 400m all-out.

 

On to the next stupid challenge.
