more pool work tomorrow, and open water diving tonight out at the lake
carrying my fat ass up the steps from the lake in full gear (adds about 40kg) is a workout in itself

Crap, that reminds me, I really need to knock out that divemaster swim test one of these decades...

Good morning

So, I've cycled to and from work Monday, Wednesday and today so far! I was going to use today as a recovery day but I made a split decision this morning and I'm glad I did! Have to admit I've been feeling a lot happier this week..

I'm going to attempt the 100 pressups in a few weeks, without training for them. I'll let you know how I get on with that :o)

In the Army, we were allowed to stop and "rest", provided we remained in an arms-fully-extended position. So, although it was "one set", we could stop and start anytime within the 2-minute period as long as we fully extended after each push-up. I wonder if the same rules apply here - the site is not clear on that point.

That was my interpretation of it I must admit, IE as long as you are a still baring the load then all good.

That's how I'll do it then!
