Opened up yesterday morning with 3 sets of 35 push up reps and am breaking a sweat and wanting to die after the third set of 35...good or bad I dunno. I know max effort I can get at +60 but that's it. I don't have much left after that however that may be my issue. I think "must conserve energy for the next two sets" and I think I am missing the point entirely. I believe I will steadily increase until I reach 40/50 by the end of the week and then come Monday I won't be so intimidated when I break 50 on my first rep and actually just keep going until I max out all three sets.
I was very sore from Pull Ups' max effort day so take note that Monday is a day of pain ha ha. I did Insanity's Cardio Power and Resistance and had to sit through a few of the exercises. That kicked my ass big time. It may fall on the lack of sleep or poor nutrition. I've virtually wiped out Carbs for now (more toward ignorance) and have been eating chicken breast, vegetables and fruit along with the Meal Replacement Shake but all things considered, I need to find better fuel for my body.
I ran three miles in 28:01 which is still incredibly shitty and I felt like I was getting faster. I will say running in circles is tough. Tough to stay focused, tough to keep track of which lap I'm on but all in all the endurance is there. Hopefully tomorrow's run (where the test is actually conducted) will breed better results as its just one lap around a park.
Watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall for the first time (how appropriate huh?) and then finished the night with Pyramid Pull Up day and got to six. Tried seven and died at four then after a break finished with four more totaling

29 pull ups.
I am not trying to kill myself more than condition my body for some crazy hardship down the road. Right now I feel fine but this was technically supposed to be last nights entry. Tonight's will be interesting.
