Interesting evening tonight. Went out back to do some pushups on the deck and spotted a wasp and a nest in the back door. The spray can I had didn't work so I ended up knocking the nest off using a section of galvanized fence pole. The wasp went away shortly thereafter. 5 sets done, and 25750 YTD. |

After my workout Friday, I managed to have some kind of pain down my right leg which lasted rather uncomfortably until I decided to try my hand again at pushups today. 5 sets of 50 completed, and 750 remaining for the week to reach 30,000. |

It's been a few days since I posted in pushup threads. Thursday morning I had an extraction done at my dentist and I wasn't sure how I'd be feeling the following days. Fortunately, I'm only aching a little bit, and I plan on resuming pushups today, likely doing 1000 this week to reach 32,000 YTD. I am taking off Friday following Independence Day simply because I can, and hopefully getting in a little gym time that day too. |

The good thing about getting into work early is leaving early, and getting home and knocking out 250 to reach 32,000 YTD. A couple relaxing days, some work around the house, a little grilling, and resuming next week. |

Ended up making a small change today early on. When I'd get finished with my set of 50, I'd hold a plank position anywhere from 15 to 45 seconds afterwards.

Last set of the day was 50 reps in 45 seconds. 32,500 YTD. |
