100 Pushups

“A fool with a heart and no sense is just as unhappy as a fool with sense and no heart.” 

― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Idiot

Was reading Dostoyevsky (reached page 311 of 1822) on my phone and laying in bed before I managed to get myself together and proceed with the 100 Pushups plan. I finished Week 2 Day 3 of the plan on Sunday (was it Sunday?) so the exhaustion test was up next. Managed to do 27 good ones consecutively at 75~80% effort. Week 3 Day 1 shall be scheduled for Thursday then! Actually, I would have gone to the gym or a run if not for having to work late today. What more, it was raining when I finally got home. I wonder how I'm gonna handle the marathon in May.

Mondays Are Not For Running

Why? Because I end up working late and hence having dinner late. If I have dinner late, obviously I'd end up running late and sleeping late and then totally ruin my Tuesday.

So, I make a rule not to run if I can't get to the gym or home on time and with my stomach at peace.

I intend to take part in the Sundown Marathon in May and finally do a 42km but I'm really out of shape. I managed to squeeze in a 2.4km run yesterday at the gym after squats etc (yes, I shouldn't do that) in my skate shoes (yes again, I should run in proper shoes instead).

Right now, the total mileage for the year stands at 7.4km. Need to buck up...

I'll make sure I run tomorrow. The gym just started a "KM Club" thing. First prize is a pair of Adidas shoes. I don't care what they are but I want them! I'm 20km behind the top guy and it's sorta sad...
