Saturday
Bike 20K's 50min Ave pace 24KM an hour
Air rower 3.4Miles in 15m10sec
Started 100 Push Up Challenge first maximum effort - 35!

I bought a cheap Cycle computer from Aldi to add some interest to my rides.
It gives just about every statistic you can think of.
I'm amazed that my average pace is only 24K's an hour! I truly push myself as hard as I can go (No free wheeling and pushing hard as!)I'd hope to run about 18K's in an hour.My only excuse is at times the course is tight technical and twisting.

I saw the 100Push Up Challenge on Coolrunning and thought I'd give it a go. With Frozen shoulder Syndrome afflicting both shoulders to some degree (different stages of waxing and waning)I wasn't sure I could even do one. To do 35 quality push ups in one sitting was much more than I expected. I waited 5mins (rather than the suggested couple of days) then started the program.
35 push ups suggested I start in Week 3 of the program. So the session required ;

14 push up 60sec rest
18 push ups 60 secs
14 push ups 60 secs
14 push ups 60 secs
Maximum Push Ups (Minimum 20)

I managed to complete the session but could only manage 15 on the last sequence. It is a really tough challenge and perhaps the 35 prior affected me. We shall see. It has left me feeling really stiff in the chest/ arms this morning.


Ronnie thanks for your encouragement! I hadn't seen the birthday thread (and thanks Craig) but checked it out this morning - Sham 69 indeed you old punk rocker!
This one is for you (One of my favourites)

Arsenal 3 Everton 1
Had a few beers last night and fell asleep for the whole first half (which was probably a good thing) Like me, Arsenal woke up in the second half and played the stylish World Class football that has become their trade mark. Great stuff!
