Fitness Goals For March: Week 2 Checkin HALF-BAKED IDIOM edition

I'm still trucking along!

You can see my previous March Fitness Checkins here:

If showing up is half the battle, or genius is mostly perspiration rather than inspiration, and winning is a game of inches, then I am well on my way to winning the game of inches with perspiration.

But let's not put the cart before the horse-- after all my goals are only half-way realized, and it would be terrible to put all my eggs in one basket, and then have to cry over spilt milk all the way to the bank.  I'm two weeks in, and I'd hate to be one of those guys who is all hat and no cattle.  Of course, I wouldn't buy a cow if I got the milk for free, that wouldn't make dollars and cents.  But money is the root of all evil, so you know, Don't Get Me Started!

Let's get down to brass tacks, and run a comb through the numbers with our fingers, as we examine my body of work shall we?

And this makes my grand total for the month so far: 115.125 miles, 4045 calories, 460 minutes. 

I'm averaging just about a 4 minute mile (3.9956 , but who's counting)

Not too shabby!

I also managed (somehow) to do 1 pushup for each day-- I did 14 this morning, and I was surprised.  Somewhere around 20 I might have to break it into 2 sets.  (These are still the knee pushups.  Maybe someday I will be able to do a real pushup!)  And of course situps, and stretching, and candlesticks.

I stopped writing in my sprinting.  I am trying to do it at 22, 16,10, and 4. It's difficult to keep it going above 20 miles an hour though.  I just have to keep pushing!
