Blast From The Past: Football Field Sprints

Hundred Push Ups; I Did The Hundred (Again)
Spent the last six weeks working through the Hundred Push Ups program for the third time since June. This time around there were no repeat weeks, no skipped workouts and no failures.

Rainy Eight Miler, Push Ups & Action Wipes

End Of Week Update
Nothing too special to report, but here’s a brief update as we head into the weekend. First things first, I decided to get the push ups out of the way. I knew the workout was going to be tough and would need to be fresh to give it a good shot. The double sets of [...]
Hundred Push Ups Week 6 Day 1
Decided to get the push ups out of the way early this morning. Felt like a good idea at the time, but I forgot how much I struggle with strength work in the mornings. Oh well, maybe I’ll remember next time. Required: 45 55 35 30 at least 55 Actual: 45 55 35 30 55 [...]
