Just so long as I’m not the only one who takes a peek looking for muscles. An ab or two wouldn’t go astray either.
I’m looking at getting some Brooks Adrenalines. Did a walk test at Athlete’s Foot and they turned out to be the most comfortable. Also looked at some Nike Pegasus’s but they are too narrow. I think I’ll go check out the Saucony’s.

[...] I redid day 2 of week 01 of the 100 pushup challenge this evening. The program calls for 12, 12, 10, 10 and max (min10). I did 12, 12, 10, 10 and 20 for my max which I was really happy with. A search for muscles victory dance may have been performed but I did not get busted by my wife. [...]

I know what you mean about the Hurricanes. I try not to compare my Trigons to my Hurricanes, but every time I put on the Hurricanes, they just feel so much more comfy than all the others.

If I’d have seen the 100 push ups thing earlier I might have given it a whirl. Good luck with it! I’ll keep a tab on your blog to see how you go

I’m with you in thinking it was a con to boost circulation of that paper! You think they’d make an effort to impress all the extra readers but no.

Heh…I’ve been busted by the wife as well.

God, I blatantly check out my muscles and make everyone around me feel them (no matter how much they protest). That’s half the fun of it

LOL! I remember finding a little muscle on my shoulders after my training sessions with Anja, and I kept looking at it. It was really only obvious when I was brushing my teeth.
I too get a bit annoyed at the lack of decent media coverage of running as a sport. It’s something so accessible to everyone, and needn’t be too expensive.

Yeah, I was a bit bummed by the liftout, they didn’t even list the winners for each event and was expecting heaps more pictures.

I may start that push up challenge, next week when I start my leave and have more time.

Thanks for the explanation re: your knee.

Well one small advantages of being single — if and when I start to develop any signs of muscle I can be as vain as I like checking my calf definition in my mirror at home with nobody to notice!
