Getting back on track

I was a bit lazy and didn't get up at 7am like I had planned. I was up just a little after 8, though (funny--or sad--thing is, I got up when my alarm went off at 7:30, but decided to re-set it for 8:30 (I'm a lazy-butt, I know). However, I didn't end up going back to sleep, so I got up just after 8). I went out to run, but I couldn't do the whole thing. I ended up stopping at 20 minutes. I can't decide if I physically just couldn't do anymore, or if I had convinced myself that I couldn't. Tuesday, I'm going to do 25. No excuses. I was initially going to move on to Week 8 of the C25k, but I think doing Week 7 once more would be best. (If I can't complete Week 7 decently, I'll jump back down to Week 6 and start over).

On a more pleasant note, I did Week one, Day one of the Hundred Push-ups program. I used modified push-ups and couldn't go down quite as far as I should, but I was able to do the whole thing successfully, and even pushed myself to do 10 sissy push-ups for the last set.

Reading: I'm almost done with Rifleman Dodd. If you haven't read it, you should. It's fantastic. The story is great and you get sucked in. It also has some very important lessons for anyone interested in joining the military.
