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.

On the situps, I slowed down, but kept going for 51......
• Re-evaluating my training pace Using a "theoretical" 7'01" mile race (based on only being able to run a 7'19" mile interval), I did a gut check on my pacing.  Yep, I'm running too fast.  Shocking.  I'm going to have to force myself to run at 6.0 mph on the treadmill. Recovery Jogs 10:33......

• Elevation Profile of the Flying Pig vs Hatfield McCoy The Hatfield McCoy marathon does not look impossibly daunting of a task... Granted:1) Flying Pig was 6:30am vs. Hatfield 7:30am start2) May 4th was unseasonably cool.3) June 14th is 6 weeks closer to the heart of summer.Obviously, the noise/granularity of the Flying Pig elevation map exaggerates the elevation totals, or......
