Week 5, Day 1 – success at last !

Yesterday was a trip down to Burnie. When we were approaching Wynyard Airport, the pilot told us it was -1 in Burnie, and it certainly was cold. Frost everywhere. Brrrr! A shorter day in the office than I could have done with, beacuse the last flight back was 4:40pm, but at least I wasn’t as late getting home. No exercise for the day though.

Looking out of my office window tonight at about 4:15pm, it looked lovely, so I decided to knock off early and head home for a hopefully slightly longer bike ride than normal. However by the time I got home (and work is only 10km from home) it had turned into a miserable, grey, cold, rainy evening. So, I just decided to do a home workout and some time on the exercise bike instead.

The first thing I did was my push-ups. Well, it’s taken me a while, but finally today I managed to complete Day 1 of Week 5 of the One Hundred Push-Ups Challenge. It required 35/28/25/22/max (at least 35), with 60 second breaks between sets. I only managed the 35 in the last “max” set, and every one of the 5 sets hurt, I’m still a little sore. That’s 145 push-ups, but I still feel so far away from being able to do 100 in a row. So, I’ll move onto Day 2 & 3 now, and they change slightly here to 8 sets, but with the first 7 being lower numbers. Yay!

A while ago I saw the ClustrMaps add-in on Louise’s blog and decided to add it to mine. If you scroll down to the bottom of my widgets at the right, you’ll see it’s a little map that shows where in the world your blog visitors are coming from, the more visitors, the larger the red dot. I find it fascinating – why not add it to yours!
