BQ by 40

First day of week 5 of the hundred pushup program:

Recovery period was extended by dog duties. I tried yesterday, but didn’t have the energy to get past the first 40 pushups.1

Set tally, “-”=60-second recovery period. “[#]“=max

Pushups:  40-32-30-25-[44], 171 total.

Had planned on running 6 miles at lunch, but hip/back pain was bothering me, so I did some strength exercises instead.
