SK, I want you to know that I haven't done a headstand in at least a week. Just been too busy squeezing in after work but before dark funness that is of higher priority than inversions. But I do like to be inverted.
I'm not sure if my arms look any different, but they are most definitely smaller! (WTF?) I put some arm warmers on this morning for the first part of my run and they would not stay up.I almost chucked them into the maples...
I'm liking this easy pup week!
Oh! And kat, training for a half mary is worthy of your attention, especially if it's your first half. You can always start back on the pups later. Or just do whatever you feel like to give your lower half a li'l break.

My back hurts. In a funky way that I don't really like.
I'm scaling down quite a bit for now. I'll try to maintain my max (20) somehow tho'.

My coach has me doing 3 sets of 8 x 100m sprint (run) repeats with 20 PU and 30 crunches between each 100m, so that's 480
PU I get to complete tomorrow...ugh! Did 360 last week.... and I thought Sunday was a day of rest....(I think I'm whining)

I must have miscounted
There's no way I did 58 in my last set today. Not possible. Stupid DH was watching and not counting. I must have miscounted.
Anyway, looking forward to backing off a bit next week!Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler

Poor java, I'm so sorry to hear this!
Even when you're "healed", I suspect it will be even longer before your wrist can take the amount of weight that pups require. It's hard enough on my little bird wrists with no breakage in their history!
Today I finished up week 2 (for the second time since I didn't do well enough on the exhaustion test to progress to week 3 before), so hopefully I can finally progress to week 3 -- plan on doing the exhaustion test on Monday. Please oh please let me do 16 pups!Emily

I'm beginning to believe that pups and cycling aren't a great combination. The last two weeks I've done the Week 5 Column 1 schedule, and continue to have a lot of overall shoulder and triceps discomfort while riding. Column 1 felt relatively "easy" while doing the pups, but I don't seem to be recovering well. I think I need to build a better base before trying to move on, so I'm going to continue with some sort of modified Week 5 for the next week or so.
