Right, report time...

@Griff9of13 has come up with stuff. Nice

@Bedford Roughyed was going great guns, and is now using arms instead of legs. Good stuff.

@Wiltshire Rhino has just done Day 4, like the fine man he is.

@Saint 1 is doing great.

@gingerjon has been doing well on the weight, but we need a report....

@Damian has made us proud.

I will be next on the bag on Saturday evening.

@Johnoco owes us a report

@Niels has been doing very well

@tim2 has been exercising well (particularly in the circumstances)

I ran my first 10K in ages the other day. I've been sleeping badly so had a couple of days off. I'll try to get out in the morning, provided I sleep.

Week 3 Day 2

14, 19, 14, 14, 21

I thought it'd be getting easier! I'm a bit concerned also that I'm starting to cut corners as I'm getting tired. 

It does feel like that. It is a sign of struggling, which is what getting fitter feels like.

The average is 3.2k a day. Normally that comes about via 3 runs a week, each of 7k ish.

Final test: 84

Not too bad, pretty pleased with that. Feeling good up to 50, doing them in sets of ten with a breath in between, then upto about 65 with a breath in between each five, then pushing them out one by one.

Note to add, that means I caught up with @bobbruce, except he did it after eight other sets of press ups.

Still a big jump though makes the 100 seem a bit more achievable once you go past 80. I think we are both one or possibly two weeks away from the 100. 

It was not a case of not quite squeezing another one through. It was just not happening.

Pushups week 5 day 3 redux.  20, 20, 24, 24, 20, 20, 22, 50+ (57 actual).  Had 3 minutes inbetween last two sets instead of 45 seconds between the rest.  Take that as a win!

It says to takes the time needed. If your arms were tired, it worked.

With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on!

Didn't do the week 5 exhaustion test this week, pretty safe to say I'd do over 50.  Spent the day making a veggie Indian feast instead.  Which was then all gone in about half an hour lol.

Back to week 6 tomorrow.

Sorry, are you skipping the exhausion test?

Foot is getting worse - considering the Docs.

I have found Dr's Google and Youtube to be very helpful!  

And Nurse Icepack.

I would not trust the first two, and that nurse will work with a doctor.
