It’s been a weird week. Work Monday. Holiday Tuesday. Daughter enrolls in Uni Wednesday.Son flies out to Army Thursday.
Gotta love change!
On Australia Day I headed out after 7pm when it was relatively cool to do another 6km run around the lakes area in my suburb. I can’t match Andrew for scenery on his runs in Auckland so the pictures aren’t that inspiring. It’s roads and houses folks! Asphalt! 
But still, getting out is good and you do feel good afterward.
That was Tuesday. Didn’t run Wednesday or Thursday simply because of the heat. Last night when I left the office at 6pm it was 30c. Planning to run when I got home while the FBH organized delicious dinner was the plan. Only problem was that at 6:30pm it was 35C!!! What the???
So it was lamb chops and sausages on the barbie. More bbq’d figs and a fresh salad. (You MUST try bbq’d figs. Divine! Just let them simmer in olive oil for about 30 seconds.)
Ah, to the push ups, yes, almost forgot.
I was about to do my 5 sets last night when the cool little iPhone app told me it was a test day. How many could I do in one go?
From memory there are 3 categories:
- 10 – 15
- 15 – 25
- > 25
I really wasn’t sure how I’d go but I got to 20 pretty easily once I got into the groove of it all. Then at around 24, I got the feeling there wasn’t that many left and I pushed out 26.
Could I have done more? I think so, possibly another 2 or 3. But I was content with 26.
Today’s sets are 14, 18, 14, 14, 20 (80 total) I’ll do them tonight.
This morning is a 6km run while it’s “cool”. (it’s 4:38am and it’s 22C!)
Just as a name dropping exercise (all exercise is healthy 
) I am having breakfast with Justin Langer (famous Australian Test Cricketer) this morning. Justin and I go way back and it’ll be good to catch up. Well, actually it’s a corporate breakfast and I don’t really know Justin. Though we did work for the same company many years ago. Before he made it into the Australian side.
Here’s to the weekend where we have a couple of more bbq’s planned with friends, more runs and push ups. Have a great day everyone.

That’s real early to be up for a run!
Not intentional I can assure you.
It reminded of the time you had some malfunction with your clock and ended up running at 4am.
Seems like you’re about level with me on the 100PUs.
Excellent! Week 3, Day 1 today. Looking forward to it, kinda …
