I am in the progress of doing a virtual run from my home in DC to the home we're attempting to buy in Punta Gorda, Fl. It is about 1,003 miles. This week I ran 5 days. I did not run on Thursday or Saturday. I had planned to run on Saturday, but we had a snow storm and I decided to take it easy. My long run was on Friday -- 8 miles. Here's how it breaks down. The time in minutes and seconds is now after my milage.
Monday: 4 miles -- 32:15
Tuesday: 3 miles -- 23: 18
Wednesday: 5 miles -- 40:40
Thursday: Off
Friday: 8 miles -- 67:18
Saturday: Off
Sunday: 4 miles -- 30:40
Total Distance Run This Week: 24 miles
Total Distance Run in 2010: 103 miles
Total Run Time: 14 hours 12 minutes 37 seconds
My Virtual Distance to Punta Gorda: 900 miles
On my virtual run, I have passed the Richmond beltway and am at the Richmond city limit.
PUSH UPS
I am also trying to improve my strength by doing push ups.
Goal for the year: 10,000
Tuesday: 70
Friday: 70
Sunday: 70
Total Push Ups This Week: 210
Push Ups in 2010: 646
After my update last week, someone made a comment about the number of push ups I do -- assuming that I did them all at once. I don't. I wish I could, but I can't. I post the total for the day. I usually do them in five sets -- usually done with 2-3 minute breaks between sets. The most I have done in a row (in my life) is 20, which is a big improvement for me. For instance, today I did the following 5 sets: 20, 15, 13, 12, 10. My arms are shaky by the end. If I can maintain doing at least 210 push ups each week, I will make my goal of 10,000.
