Day 1 of 10000 burpee/pullup challenge

Got up about 6:30, went on a bike ride. Cut it short as it was a lot colder than I thought it would be on the greenway and my hands were hurting pretty bad. Ended up doing 5.5 miles anyway. 15 Burpees and 15 pullups done, 9985 of each to go!

Sunday, pre 100 day, 10000 burpee/pullup challenge

Not much to report from last week, did some running, did some riding, burpees and pullups. SSDD.

Tomorrow I start the 10000 burpee/pullup challenge. I may have bitten off more than I can chew but you never know until you know. This will take us right up to and keep us busy until the triathlon. Plan on running three times a week with the regular plan and cycling three times a week until I can figure out some swim training. Planning on getting three abrippers and two abs/core workouts done a week and ending the days with candlelight yoga/xstretch. Fridays are rest days, nothing scheduled at all.

Next weekend is the end of 10K running training, I'll be in SC for the Cooper River bridge run. After that we start the marathon training in earnest.

Monday

Not so good today, another 'let's find out how many times we can get mommy and daddy out of bed' marathon. I swear the kids and the dog have some sort of bet going. Doubt I got more than 4-5 hours of sleep and no more than an hour uninterrupted all night long. Anyway not the best of Mondays and didn't feel like doing much until this evening. Got outside and played with the kids for a while then got fired up and knocked out 105 pullups. Should have done some bike time, I'm neglecting that and the triathlon is coming up fast. Have to do better. Tomorrow is burpee practice and some running.

Sunday night

Been a busy weekend. Ran about 6.5 Saturday and another 3.5 today, knocked out another 105 burpees, mowed the grass, yoga, yada yada yada. Pretty tired. Monday looks like it could be a real bear so I'm going to go ahead and call it a night pretty soon. Going to do a 6 hour core tonight and see how that goes.
Peace.

2009 Miles Run: 67.5

Friday

Me and my big mouth. Planning to start a 10000 burpees in 100 days challenge next week so I thought I'd better find out if I was man enough to make the attempt. Did 105 burpees today as well as 105 pullups. Also knocked out my evening yoga, nice to see my flexibility is making progress. Should sleep well tonight.

In case you're curious this is how I got to 105:
Set of 14, rest until I stop feeling like puking.
Set of 13, ruIsflp.
Set of 12, etc..
...
Set of 1, lay on the floor gasping while the dog laughs at me.

Well, it should get easier, right?

Thursday

Got in a 4 mile run first thing this morning with Neighbor Sanjai, not much else other than yoga tonight. Feel like body weight is about where I'm happy with it so I'm planning on easing off the cardio some and focusing on the Tri/marathon training with some body weight exercise challenges rolled in. And yoga, that's pretty much a staple now.

2009 Miles Run: 57.5

Tuesday

Felt pretty rough for the most part today, sun finally came out and I went for a run, knocked out 5 miles in 45 minutes and got my evening yoga done tonight. Expect to sleep well.

2009 Miles Run: 53.5
