Push Up-date

I've completed the first week of the One Hundred Challenge.

Five more to go before I attempt 100.

Two more weeks before I try to run again.

I'm returning to Memphis in December. It was the last marathon I successfully completed and the first marathon in which I qualified for Boston. After the BQ, I couldn't get motivated to run as hard as I had been running before. I wasn't really in shape for the BQ and pushed a bit harder than I should have been necessary for someone who had properly trained -- it took a psychological toll more so than physical. After too much lackadaisical training, I did 3 days of speedwork in a row, creating a shin splint in early April I only had diagnosed in July after running 20 miles of a marathon, an off-trail race, and other ignorant training attempts.

I'm looking to break 2:50 in Memphis with only 18 weeks of training. It is all part of a larger personal goal that I may reveal later this year.

goal: 100 consecutive push-ups by 16Aug2008
