July Press Up Challenge Day 3

Press Ups

Day 3 of the challenge and the first real day in which I have to fit this challenge in with work and family life.

Up at 6:10am this morning to get the first 100 in before work and with the planned second 100 in after work.

I broke the session down in to 10 press ups X 10 sets with a 1min rest in between.  This was mainly for my stomach/abs that were still aching.  Arms were a little bit shaky on the reps but managed to get all 10 done by 6.30am.

Big help this morning was having my gym shorts and t-shirt on the side to put on straight away, so I was changed and ready to go. No excuses.

Busy day in work, travelling all around the county, after my last meeting finished at 5.30pm down in Kendal, I decided to stop on the way home and get a run in.  I did a 3.5 mile run from Staveley to Ings and back.

Staveley is a lovely village and well worth a village, for the artesian bakery (https://www.instagram.com/more_bakery/?hl=en) , Wheelbase Cycle (https://www.instagram.com/wheelbase.co.uk/?hl=en) and Hawkeshead Brewery (https://www.instagram.com/hawksheadbrewery/?hl=en).

Check out GO Cumbria's Instagram Page (https://www.instagram.com/gocumbriaevents/?hl=en) where I posted a couple of photos of my run.

When I got home, I did the same plan as this morning 10 reps x 10 sets 1 minute rest.  I did this in between cooking food and seeing the kids.

Analysis

Today I was under, I know it is important to eat the right amount of calories, and not to starve yourself.  I need to look at swapping some of my carb calories into protein calories.
