Press Ups

Day 5 of the July 200 press up challenge.  Up at 6am again this morning to get the first 100 in, doing the same method of 10 reps x 10 sets, this time I cut the rest down to 45sec from 1 min.  These were repped out well and I felt good.

The second 100 have not been that easy.  I got in from a long day in work, straight out on the bike for a 22 mile bike ride up one of the Cumbria passes - Whinlatter.  So once I've come in had some food and then trying to get the second 100 press ups in, really struggling!  But at 9pm I completed them watching the Tour de France.

Bike Ride

Lovely day in Cumbria today so me and Paddy headed out this evening.  Did a 21.8 mile bike ride, which took us over Whinlatter, and I had some very squeaky breaks that I need to look at.  Had 1,866ft elevation gain, and we averaged 13.7mph.

See you tomorrow,

Owen
