Well the past weekend resulted in one running session of 8 miles and one press up session. Last night I managed 70 press ups in one go, so only 30 more to go.
With a week to go until the Mansfield Half all my usual aches and pains are turning up.
Also I have not shaved for a week, ‘backing the beard’ ie as long as England stay in the World Cup I am not shaving. Well England look as though they may be leaving early unless they pull their collective finger out. But as the weather has improved there is no way I can run 13.1 miles with a full beard so it will be disappearing before the weekend.
Tonight is a bit of a run followed by a trip to the gym, not watching the live match tonight think I will just watch the highlights instead.
Cheers

Bit rubbish
Last night I didn’t go for a run! I had a lift home and was dropped off about a mile away so had to walk a mile then when I got in I just couldn’t be bothered.
Did do my second 100 press up challenge session which consisted of 20,20,22,22,24,20 and 20 sets of press ups with a 45 second recovery in between. Supposed to be doing this four times a week for two weeks then up the number of reps in each set so hopefully in three weeks I can complete the challenge of 100 press ups in one go!
Definitely running at least seven miles tonight hopefully a couple more. Have to pick my car up from my mates house tonight so will do my seven or eight miles route then tag on a couple to get me to his house.
Beautiful day today and I am in a better mood although I have got some pain in my left lower leg. I think my varicose veins are having a bit of a party.
Getting quite excited about the Mansfield Half, I do like pretending to be an athlete for a couple of hours. Looking forward to getting my number.

Still training….
…but still have not decided if I am running Mansfield.
Did not get out Sunday morning as it was chucking it down, did do seven miles last night and it was pretty good but a bit humid.
The plan this week is to alternate running with the gym which should hopefully see me visit the gym three times and achieve a weekly mileage of approx 34 miles.
I am also getting in to this 100 press up (push up) challenge, the challenge is (obviously!) to do 100 press ups in one go! This morning I did 50 and could have done a few more. A lad at work is training for it and there was an article in this months ‘Men’s Health’ magazine and there is also a website. I will keep you informed.
The World Cup starts Friday which I am looking forward to and it is the Canadian Grand Prix this weekend so I will have to fit my training around lots of TV sport this weekend.
cheers
