Smelly push ups, 3 to 7?

Last night I did a video for this month’s Bar-barian forum challenge.  Once again it was push ups.  I decided to do the push ups outside on the deck just for something different.  The dogs came out with me.  About 20 seconds before I was ready to start Sadie was nice enough to drop a deuce about 15 feet away.  I was thrilled.

The dogs didn’t understand they shouldn’t be walking in front of me during Bar-barian videos so I had to put them back inside.  I was able to knock out 42 push ups on the attempt.  Not a bad number but definitely on the low side compared to some of the elite guys on the forum.  I hope to to do another attempt late in the month to see if I can add a few reps.

Ali got home around 7:30 last night, the earliest she was home all week.  She has had a shitty work week.

This weekend I have various things to do as usual.  I need to do oil changes on the vehicles.  Ali is going to be gone once again for a good portion of Saturday. I literally spend more time alone than with her at home anymore.

Ali is scheduled to go run 7 miles with her girlfriends on Sunday.  I am contemplating  joining them.  If you have paid attention to my running workouts you will know that the most I have run in the last 6 months is probably just a 5k, even if it was sandwiched in with bike and swim workouts.

Standard running protocol states that you should not increase your mileage by more than 10% week to week.  I have never been much for standard protocol.  My thinking is the girls will be doing their run at a slower pace than I normally do my three so it should help split the difference.

It may be pretty silly to more than double the length of my current running base but I sort of am looking forward to the challenge.  The longest I have EVER run is somewhere around 6 miles.
