It's good to read the posts of Charles and Ben. Charles continues to be a strong inspiration leading and pushing all of us, and Ben helps alleviate my doubts over struggling to keep up. I've run every day this week so far, 3-4 miles at a time. The knee feels good, and I plan to stay away from the bike until I get it fitted to my specifications. It costs around $90 though. Bastards.
I've done some sort of PT every day too, but all together they only amount to a warm up for Charles. I know the point of this is not to compare, but I can't help it. He's my little brother! ;-) But I'm immensely proud of him and his ability to exceed WAY beyond expectations, which really have no bearing anyway. He's the type of person that can accomplish anything once the mind is set. Good on ya! He serves as my continuing inspiration, and I look forward to matching him again.
With respect to Ben, we can do it too! I'm not in school, but the band is kind of my first priority. However, I'm getting better at the balancing act. I just have to keep to a regular schedule without interrupting it for ANYTHING. It's a slow climb back to the top, and sometimes there are new obstacles that we create when bouncing down the cliff, but just as before, we have to keep looking forward and upward and simply find the best route to regain control. Or if the best route is invisible, just nut up and conquer the blockade head-on.
Today I rested a bit, PT-wise. Yesterday I did the 11 Variation pushups with 10 situps between sets. The pushups continue to get easier with higher reps, and the situps feel okay for the most part. I've been overloading a bit this week, doing 150-200 a day to get a solid base. Pullups are kind of difficult, but I welcome the pain again. It's been awhile and it'd high-time for some body/mind testing.
The running is a steady, quick pace at around 7 minute miles; looking forward to increasing distance.
Rock on Charles. Rock on Ben. Rock on me.

Damn bastards are always trying to gyp you. They are like a bunch of whores who charge too much!
Nice with the PT...that is the way to do it. I think in about two months, you will be back in top form, and will surpass my efforts. You will make me look meager, a skin-less swimming thing in the deep sea.
For the situps you should try the one where you do everything...you know the one I'm talking about: regular, crunch, reverse crunch, sides, leg levers, flutter kick, atomic, half, rest a minutes, repeat. That's the one I always like doing because it burns and makes me feel like I am doing something incredible.
It is good that your runs are at a swift pace...that will help you from falling into a stagnant trap, a icy crevice that will make running un-fun. Nice, nice, and nice!
Now would be the time to say something like hoo rah.
Yeah dude, that situp workout is fun. It's on the schedule for this weekend.
Hoo rah. I could be wrong, but I think that's the coast guard. If we want to stick with the SEALS, it's Hoo-Yah!
If we want to stick with just general Navy, we don't really say anything, even though everyone thinks we say "Ahoy matey!" or simply "ARRRRRR!"
"just nut up and conquer the blockade head-on."
excellent.
You mean to tell me you DON'T say "Ahoy matey!," or "ARRRRRR?" What is going on with the world?
Great job Charles and Anton with the PT stuff. You guys are solid!
Glad you like the saying Ben. That can be on the posters we make of ourselves. "Just nut up and conquer the blockade head on."
We can use the one Charles has on his for you guys. I can wear a Santa suit and run away from the police.
