At the end of last week, the program calls for another test to see how many push ups you can do at one time. My initial test at the beginning of the program was 45, and this time I did 60. That’s a nice jump in 2 weeks time.

Today begins the third week and it calls for another 5 sets with 60 seconds rest in between each. Of course, the last set is the one that is an attempt on my life, where I do as many as possible before collapsing. My results:

25-17-17-15-[30] for a total of 104 push ups.

I also started the 7th week of the One Hour Runner program and ran 3.24 miles in 30:00 for a 9:10/mile pace. I finished the 6th week last Saturday in Columbia, SC, with my longest run to date: 41 minutes covering 3.77 miles. This week will conclude with a 45 minute run and I’m hoping to run for 4 miles.
