    I'm kinda out this week. Heading to DC for the Breast Cancer 3-Day there (see sig if you wanna donate!) and it's going to be insane. I'll try to do some, but I really don't see any happening.

    I hope this is going to help my upper-body strength. I've got my mountain bike completely decorated in pink and loaded up with all the gear I'll need each day for route safety, but empty water bottles. I know that I'm used to lifting my light and zippy road bikes into my car, but it took every ounce of muscle I had to get this beast into my car. Doubt I would have been able to do it if I hadn't been PUP'ing.

    L-
    For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

    This is a live post as I am doing them.

    Week 4, Column 1, Day 2:

    14 - Ok that's tough but not so bad anymore.
    16 - Had to rest (on top of my arms) at 12 but kept going.
    12 - Sort of got mixed up with the breathing but took a second to get going on the right track again. It's hard, but it's sort of nice that now it's 12, not 6, that's feeling hard.
    12 - Not too pretty either, but did it. Now am I really supposed to do 18? I'll take a longer rest before I try that.

    Wow. I did 18. My arms are quite shaky and I managed to hike up my heart rate quite a bit. Stopped at 10, and then 13, and then 2 more, and then 2 more, and then one last.

    So that's 72 for today. I'm getting scary-close to 20 in one set (but nowhere near 100!!!!!!)
