100 push ups

What can I say? Really, I don't feel like saying much. Truth is, today I didn't have a good workout. In fact, I was quite nervous to being with. I had missed past three workouts. Saturday, Sunday, Monday. Saturday, it was Russell's dinner at BBQ Tonight. Sunday, well, Sunday my two colleagues had come to stay at the masjid where I pray, and one of them, who also happens to be living alone in Karachi, asked me to go to Hardees with him, so didn't feel like working out after having had dinner. Last night, it was invitation at Wahaj's place, from where I cam around 1 am. Now I have indeed worked out even later than that (2:30 am ), but well, I didn't quite feel like it. Really, there is no better excuse, so I ain't looking for one.

Today too, I had had dinner. It was unplanned dinner. I had just went to my granny's to bring the sister back home, and there just joined them over dinner. And guess what? Ate loads of beef! Now when I was eating, all the time I was thinking, how awesome it would have been if I had been doing rigorous training for three days and would be eating this beef right now. But I hadn't been working out. And it wasn't awesome. Anyway, I came home. I rested. Two-three hours passed. I still felt heavy from the dinner. Heavy and sluggish. And as if the anxiety of slacking, and the heaviness from dinner wasn't enough, it was very cold outside too. Cold breezes. And I work out in the open. Under the night sky. Well, I started. And thought, I would just do 55. And would do my squats with weights. So I feel like I have done some work. I did first five sets. I did ten reps in all the ten sets. And since I was doing ten reps in all the sets of squats, I thought why not give it a shot in push up sets too. I tried. It worked. Downside is that it took my One hour to complete the set. I rested a lot. As opposed to doing the workout in a circuit fashion, which exhausts an energetic person, I did it like I wrote my papers in college: lazily, with a lot of lags in between, and while thinking about other stuff.

All this time I was thinking how much I will brag if I accomplish this. Ah well, here it is. Done.  Hundred push ups, in one hour. First time in life. Next goal? The same workout in 3o minutes :)

So it was:
100 rope jumps, 10 weighted or 15 free squts, 2 min rest, 10 push ups, 2 min rest
100 rope jumps, 10 weighted or 15 free squts, 2 min rest, 10 push ups, 2 min rest
...
100 rope jumps, 10 weighted or 15 free squts, 2 min rest, 10 push ups, 2 min rest
That's all for now.
