Push Ups

I used to be able to do 100-200 push ups a day. But I haven't done those kinds of numbers in a few months. So when I tried last night, I did 40 and it was tough! I did another 40 this morning and I'm hoping to get back into my high rep push ups.

I ran!!!

Last night while my wife was at spin class, I decided to go for a job. Mind you, my idea of running/jogging is about the same speed if I were to walk fast, but my arms are moving as if I was running.

So last night I decided to pick up my pace and see how well I do. I had my MP3 player on to a song by 30 Seconds to Mars called This is War. That song got me all pumped up and kept me running. But at one point my inner thigh started chaffing and I had to walk about 1/4 mile, but once I felt better, I ran the rest of the way home

I'll have to figure out the distance I ran, but even my own wife was impressed since she's quite the runner.

ugh, here we go again,

Not sure if I mentioned it, but on the 16th of January, I had a mountain biking accident. I went over the bars, landed on my chest and bruised my ribs.

Been to the doctors, nothing broken but she said it would take 6-8 weeks before I see some healing. I've been seeing a chiropractor too, it helps, but I still have pain.

I'm super discouraged because I was in great shape for racing, but I've already missed two of the downhill races and now my cardio is only down to 2 hours a week and I'm eating more. ARGH! This is so frustrating. It's hard for me to get into the same focus I had when I first started training for racing. I also feel like I'm too busy at times to work out.

I recently saw a video of me from a few months ago. Back then I was doing 200 push ups a day and I didn't know it at the time, but my chest got big in a good way. So the other night I tried to do some pushups but my damn ribs in the back still hurt!!!!!! ARGH! I'm pretty discouraged right now and feel like a total looser and because I'm an emotional eater...you guessed it, I'm eating more and it seems like I have no control...
