Well, it's official. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and we will be running our second 5k in as many weeks. Right now, as it is already two hours past when I wanted to be in bed, with a turkey that is still too frozen to dress and get in the oven (we traditionally sear the bird and then turn down for a long, slow roast), I'm wondering why were were so crazy as to sign up for a race on Thanksgiving morning.
Only our eldest son will be running with us tomorrow. The rest will stay at home, the younger ones in the care of the remaining elder ones. The race is early, so they'll spend a good chunk of our absent time eating breakfast and playing. We'll be back before they'll have a chance to get too antsy.
I started Week Two of the One Hundred Pushups Challenge tonight. My sets were 9-11-8-8-(min. 11). I collapsed during my 10th pushup during the final set, but after a few quick breaths, I got up and did three more, so I'll count that as 12. That means I did 48 pushups tonight. That's amazing considering the fact that I only managed six (6) during the pre-program exhaustion test.
We did preliminary weigh-ins today, just in case the clinic is closed on Friday, and it looks like I'm up a pound. I'll really need to watch myself tomorrow.
Good night, all, and Happy Thanksgiving!
