push ups, week 3

[anotheranon]

Column one, 2nd day. I did day 1 twice because it's getting increasingly difficult, and might do day 2 again as well.

I'm no longer suffering residual aches a day or two after each round, but I am having to take breaks during sets: to avoid straining my back I'm trying to use my abs to keep my back straight, but when I do that I can't breathe and have to do a "downward facing dog" to inhale while not seizing my back muscles.

Incredibly I am not paying too much for this past weekend, a bit of pinging in my left sole and mild shin-splinty tightness but not nearly as bad as expected on either count.

...crap, I've run out of things to say now. Perhaps I can treat myself to an early night.

I just finished Week One, Starting Week 2 on Sunday. I do feel a difference, though I'm waiting to see how Day One of Week Two goes. :)

I was really happily surprised at how much my arms stopped aching between days.

Glad you're keeping going!
