Took Thursday off after the long run. Stretched a lot.
Yesterday, we had weigh-ins in the morning in preparation for the PFA next week. I was 158. That's about 30 lbs under my max weight. As you can probably tell, I'm worried about going over next Wednesday.
Afterward, Taylor was going running, so I accompanied him on an easy 3 miler, 25:00. Felt great, so we did some strides afterward. That was weird...I haven't done strides forever, and I could tell. It felt good flying across the field, but my heart kept flying when my legs weren't moving. Neat.
Then, I did that Pushup variation workout Charles sent: the 10x11 thing. It's getting easier. The one arms are still the biggest challenge, and they're getting past half-assed and almost to three-quarter assed. What? I did them in groups of two, so like 10 rotationals followed immediately my 10 spidermans. Then 20 situps between sets.
Totals: 110 PU and SU
Today, I ran a steady 6 miler in the rain! NICE! Found a trail that paralles the freeway underneath, and the GPS didn't like running under the road; or the rain. Either or, it kept saying I was running at 23:00 pace, but kept clicking off mile splits at around 7:30. What a douche.
Anyway, that felt great, and the legs are fully recovered.
Then I did 2:00 max for PU and SU. Pushups, I did 100 in 1:30, then bridged the last 30 sec. Situps: 95 in 2:00. My goal is 105. It took 25 more seconds to get the final 10. I doubt I can cut that off in 4 days, but I'll give it my best shot.
Tomorrow, I'll probably do some supersets and just kill everything. Then I'll rest Monday, do some light sets on Tuesday, and test on Wednesday. The running plan, maybe do 10 again tomorrow, then stick with 6 all week. Wednesday, I'll warmup for a half mile, run the 1.5 mi in 8:30, then continue on for a 4 mile cool down.

- Okay, I think I got it. I want to fly. And I want to heal. So, I can combine the two and utilize both Physiology and Aeronautics, in a field called Bioastronautics!

Damn! Those 2 min maxes are awesome! Sweetness! I like how casual you talk about them. It's like some genius dude saying "Yeah, I found the cure for cancer," and then proceeding to plunge his fingers into guacamole and then suck his hand. That is what it is like.
I agree. Those are some stellar numbers. I like how you have set your goal even higher. Something to strive for.
I like the plan you have set up for the week. It looks good. You might be able to make up those extra 10 on the PFA day because you'll be super psyched. That is, if you're up for the challenge. Ohh!
I'm not sure I understand what Charles is saying about the hand in the guacamole, but it reminds me of something. I saw a bird yesterday.
Also, I could have SWORN I saw this guy on the metro the other day. http://www.pleix.net/
Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the props guys, but here's why I'm casual. The maxes are fine, but I suck at doing a bunch of stuff in a workout. I get tired at like 150 pushups and situps. It's kind of like a sprinter being able to blast through 100m, but dying in the 800m.
Thanks again though, I'll keep raising it, I'm up for Ben's Challenge (thanks for the push!), and I get the guacamole. It makes perfect sense. Maybe 'cause we're brothers. ;-)
You saw the old muscle guy? That's kind of cool, but gross at the same time. Body builders kind of look unnatural.
