Today, I did the 1.5mi run for midterm. Didn't do great. 11:34. But, not too bad, considering I haven't been able to run for nearly a month. As of now, though, back in the gym as often as possible, with a focus on cardio, if I can keep my mind trained on it. I also did my pushup training. It was as follows:

Monday: Start with a maximum set. Rest 110 seconds. Next set should be 90% of the max, with 100 seconds rest. Next set should be 80% of the max with 90 seconds rest. Every set deduct 10% and 10 seconds of rest.

Now, with my max being 40, my numbers should have looked like this:

40 36 32 28 24 20 16 12 8 4

for a total of 220 pushups.

My actual numbers were:

38 22 22 18 14 16 16 12 8 4

for a total of 170 pushups.

This was tough, and I'm not entirely happy with my results; 50 off. I'll just have to look at it as an incentive to try harder. Will update tomorrow with further exercise.
