I am working on setting up a schedule or something so that I can update with some regularity.<br /><br />As far as the One Hundred Pushup Challenge is concerned, I think that I am going to throw in the towel on that one. It's not that I'm giving up on regaining strength. I have just spent a lot of time in the gym these past couple of months and recently I re-introduced strength training into my routine and it feels great to be lifting weights again. I'm not going to blog about that because I'm sure that all 5 you couldn't care less about what I eat and how much weight I put up. <br /><br />On a completely different topic, I would like to introduce you all to one of my favorite podcasts. I have laughed more at the <a href="http://gsguide.blogspot.com/">Geek Survival Guide</a> than anything other than <a href="http://www.hulu.com/the-office">The Office</a>. He hasn't updated his feed in quite some time but the old episodes are all worth a listen. I have gone through them all at least twice now and still find them funny.<br /><br />Let me know what you think of the new site design and of the podcast.IfIGetOldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10231353592208828029noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20982167.post-64571524540834658352008-10-03T21:32:00.001-04:002008-10-10T22:51:47.848-04:00New Music Post<p><a href="http://ifigetoldmusicreviews.blogspot.com/#Biz">Biz Markie</a></p>IfIGetOldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10231353592208828029noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20982167.post-35762401713491376622008-10-02T23:51:00.003-04:002008-10-02T23:57:00.306-04:00Week 3 Day 1 Take 2<p>Yes, it has been almost 4 weeks since I last did any push ups.

This is only 5 more than when I tried 2 weeks ago. I guess it is still an improvement, but I was hoping to see a bigger gain already. It still puts me in the highest category for the challenge so if I believe that the system works then I should have no problem reaching the goal of 100 push ups without stopping.IfIGetOldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10231353592208828029noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20982167.post-47414996074138536462008-08-30T19:32:00.003-04:002008-09-02T21:39:24.664-04:00Day Six<p>I did my push ups early today with the promise of an ice cold Guinness or two as a reward.

It was also my wife's birthday and I needed to spend time with her on her special day so the push ups got postponed. Naturally, Saturday would have been the next best time to do my exercise, but I spent about 8 hours moving furniture into our new building at church so I didn't feel up to the challenge. Today was a very long day but I needed to push through and get Day Three out of the way so at 10:30 pm I got down on the floor.</p><br /><br /><center> <br />15<br />120 second rest<br /><br />13<br />120 second rest<br /><br />10<br />120 second rest<br /><br />10<br />120 second rest<br /><br />25<br /><br /><b>Total 73</b><br /></center>IfIGetOldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10231353592208828029noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20982167.post-39079872126756230562008-08-20T22:29:00.002-04:002008-08-24T22:57:20.277-04:00Day Two<p>Today was easier than I expected and I haven't had any soreness or fatigue yet.
