General Update
I’ve finished Week 01 of the 100 push-ups challenge. It’s good to be doing it again I find. I did daily totals of 49, 60 & 62 for a total of 171 push-ups for the week. That can’t hurt the fitness efforts I’m sure! I’ve found the 100 push-ups iPhone application quite useful in this regard as it provides a timer and a log etc. I can recommend it for sure.
I’m back on the running bandwagon and have done two runs this week so far. A treadmill run on Monday evening and a run around our neighbourhood with my wife on Wednesday evening. I’m planning on running every second day or more as the whim takes me. My next race is on the 29th of November so I’m not planning on anything strenuous.
I’ve gained about 6kgs over the course of my marathon training so I need to lose those. I guess it’s time to start reporting the weight again! Here’s my chart for the last week.
More green than red so that’s a good thing.

Very cool. I’ve been doing the 100-push up challenge as well. It’s pretty demanding…

I wonder how you managed to do that…..I wouldn’t be too concerned about weight myself. Bear in mind that muscle is heavier than fat, it may be a case of you losing fat and gaining muscle and perhaps high water retention. If you haven’t done so, I’d recommend a body composition analysis where they get readings of your body fat percentage, water retention and muscle mass as a component of your overall body weight. Makes for interesting reading, and gives you an idea of how your fitness and progress is tracking.

I know exactly how I did that – too much eating!
But yes a body composition analysis sounds good.

Welcome back to the push-ups challenge. I finally got to do a “test’ today — I’m at 35. It’s nice to know how the first month or so stuck with me. I think I’m going to start at week 3 since I didn’t have too big of a gap of backing out of it. We’ll get it done eventually!

I’ve been very on again, off again with this challenge but, as you say, it certainly hasn’t hurt my fitness efforts. I’d like to complete it someday but for now at least it keeps me doing pushups.
