Virtual Run to Punta Gorda Update 5

I am in the process of doing a virtual run from my home in DC to our possible new home in Punta Gorda, FL.  It is about 1,003 miles.  I ran every day this week except Monday (we were flying home from Florida).  Here's how it breaks down: Monday: Off Tuesday: 3 miles Wednesday: 3 miles Thursday: 4 miles Friday: 6.25 miles Saturday: 3.25 miles Sunday: 4.5 miles On my virtual run to Florida, I am now at Ruther Glen, VA, which is just north of Richmond. I'm approaching King's Dominion, an amusement park I've frequented several times and features a 1/3-size replica of the Eiffel Tower (332 feet high). The map below shows the start near my house in South East DC and my finish today in Virginia.

Total Distance Run This Week: 24 miles

Total Distance Run in 2010: 79 miles 

Total Run Time: 10 hours 58 minutes 26 seconds 

My Virtual Distance to Punta Gorda: 924 miles 

I am actually ahead of schedule on my run. To complete the distance by the end of the year, I need to run an average of 2.75 miles each day. Through today, if I did the minimum milage, I would only be at mile 66, so I'm 13 miles farther.

PUSH UPS 

I am also trying to improve my strength by doing push ups. 

Goal for the year: 10,000

Tuesday: 60
Thursday: 65
Sunday: 65 

Total Push Ups This Week: 190

Push Ups in 2010: 436

I am behind schedule on the push ups, but I'm continuing to improve my weekly count. I'm hoping to catch up down the road.

Very cool. I went to King's Dominion once, back in the mid 80's. I wish I could do that many push ups. I can get to 15 right now. Ugh. I'll bump it up to 20 in the next week or so.
