Friday Follow-ups

ALLERGIES - Allergies are still beating me down. I decided to skip my run last night. Blech. This is particularly bad because I've under a lot of stress this week. Allergies + Stress = Unhappy Lisa

GARMIN - I also recieved my new Garmin cradle in the mail. As far as I can tell, it is working. Guess I'll find out when I try to use the Garmin next time.

DECISION - Leaning toward doing the push-up tri. I can run a practice 10K on my own some other weekend. Guess that means, I need to start doing push-ups again. Just for giggles, I did 15 modified ones this morning at the gym. It was kind of weird because I haven't done pushups like that for a long time. I'm not sure if I was doing them correctly. I was trying to follow the rules for the race. Elbows needs to be at a 90 deg bend in the down position, straight in the up position, and push-ups mut be done continuously with no resting allowed. The rules also state that women may have bent legs which is why I'm practicing them like that at the moment.

ABS WORK- Most of the exercises are getting easier which must mean that my abs are getting stronger. Yay! I wish I could say the same for my lower body stuff. Sadly I'm still struggling with those evil one legged squats.

  2. Hope this weekend relieves the stress a bit and you can get in some rest and running. I'm glad you're leaning toward the push-up tri-- it sounds like a good challenge without requiring all-out hardcore training.

  4. Your new and improved abs will no doubt help with the push-ups too.

    Have a great weekend!

  5. Great job on your ab work!! I hate doing ab workouts. That's why I avoid them (and why my tummy isn't as flat as I'd like it to be).

    I hope your allergies calm down enough to let you get some running in. Don't forget to relax, if you can. Happy weekend to you!

  11. If your doing the pushups have your hubby look at your form. It's very easy for people to fall out of good form with the pushup. You are totally going to rock!

    Sorry bout' the allergies! You and I have really been suffering this week.

  12. Allergies are so hard to stay ahead of! Sorry you have to deal with that - hope it gets better soon. And? Good luck with those evil one legged squats. (Have not been brave enough to try them yet - but know I should!)

  13. That stinks about the allergies. Hope you're feeling better soon.

    I need to start doing pushups again too. I always say that and for some reason never do it. I need to just do it already.
