Total Distance

4.00

4 easy miles this morning. 41 with a wind so wore tights, and it was a good choice. Needed to go to work early so got up an hour earlier than normal for my run and the stars were out! Gorgeous. As much as I dislike running in pitch black with a not-so-bright headlamp, running in a cloudless night with stars all around is enchanting. I love it. By the time I got home the sunrise was ramping up and had chased away most of the stars.

AP: 8:45 (finally looked - didn't want to know). I hope to not get much faster for a while. I could sort of feel my left foot doing "something" during the run but hours later I don't feel much so that's a good sign.

1X90 plank, 30 pushups. I almost bought me a Perfect Pullup bar at Wal-Mart last night as I want to be like Jake. I might do it. I also looked at the Perfect Pushups but I think I'll just stick with the normal no-equipment-needed kind of pushups.

Being like Jake is a worthy, but impossible aspiration. My opinion is split on the perfect pushup and pullup. For me, the perfect pullup would not leak all over the sheets and only cost 10 cents. Currently, the pullups in use leak 33% of the time and cost 40 cents. I can't wait to hear what allie has to say. Hopefully she'll be looking at your blog. It's just that in the past, she's never been one to shy away from a good pullup conversation.

The perfect pullup for me is a pair of underwear whose wearer doesn't leak through conscious choice. The perfect pullup bar serves raspberry smoothies.
