I managed to sleep a little better last night. The festivities yesterday consumed our day. But it was worth it. But I was wiped out and my body was falling apart. The sleep was necessary. I think I got 8.5 hours :D. Got up and ran 8 miles in the chilly air. Went really slow because my body is trying to break down. I didn't want to freak it out. Just eazing into the run. First mile pace 9:28. Ahhhhh that's the ticket. Second mile over 9 as well and I was feeling so much better. My body slowly came alive and I just kept my pace in hide mode. There is no need to push pace against the garmin when your body says no. It makes all the difference in the world. Wore my old mizunos. Really got to get out today and buy the Altras (zero drop shoes). I started to wear the mizunos I wore for SGM that messed up my foot and lo and behold the problem is back FULL force with my PF. Luckily I have an appt. Wednesday. AP today 8:42 for 8 miles. So lovely. That's what I needed.. Then I did 86 pushups according to the schedule with 60-80 second break in between except the last set I rested about three minutes gearing up for the finish. I was spent by the third set so I needed all the rest I could get. Sets were 17/19/15/15/20. I actually could only get in 18 for the last set then in 30 seconds I finished the last two. PUSH UPS are SO HARD. I look like incredible HULK these days. Don't think I like this look on me. My shirts are fitting tighter around the chest!! What's that all about????????? Did the rest of my arm workout. I skipped them last week due to fatigue but this week I thought I would start it again. 2 sets of 10-12 reps each exercise.

86 push-ups! Wow! I do like the sound of a bigger chest. I've often wondered if my breasts would look bigger if I bulked up my pecks. Sounds like it might be worth a try.

Nice run and pushups. That is why I do not do any additional upper body work--I just bulk up and getting bigger is the absolute last thing I need. Since I have been back in EMS lifting patients and equipment my arms have gotten HUGE. I hate it, but nothing to be done. I supposed I could throw a mean punch though if I got attacked on a run.

86 pushups??? You are my hero!!! Seriously wait to go. I am up to 50 but now my new goal is to be able to do as many as my friend Julie. Friendly competition. :)

I ran a 9 mm for you this morning. :)
