Well, I managed all my running and clocked in a total of 23.7 miles this week.
The challenges were harder since Ripley’s poo explosion threw Wednesday out of the loop and resulted in me doing Day 2 on Friday, Day 3 on Saturday and then the Challenge progress test for pushups, crunches and squats today following it with Day 1 of Week 3 tomorrow evening. Four days in a row of body weight exercise is hard on anyone I think.
I did manage 22 pushups (tier 2 next week), 30 good crunches until my bra hurt unbearably and I was strongly reminded as to why I wear a sports bra when I normally do crunches (tier 1 next week) and 41 squats (tier 3 next week). I could have done more crunches in a better bra and more squats except that I want to run 3.75 miles tomorrow. So I did the minimum to put myself in the top tier for next week.
I also did monthly measurements for the first time in two months. And boy, can I tell.
