at this time last year i had failed miserably at my new year's resolution of recapturing a little of my youth by getting back into doing push ups as part of my exercise routine. as i mentioned earlier my schedule increased the number of push ups too quickly. but this year things are working out much better. having started at 1 single lonely push up back in november and increasing the number very slowly i can proudly report that i am now at 12 push ups and plan to increase it to the lucky number of 13 tomorrow. the best part is my 12 push ups are pain free. a few months ago i was in considerable pain doing 5 push ups.
if anyone had told me to try this very slow build up last year i would have laughed at them and possibly felt insulted but oh how things changed. last year was a learning experience that forced me to acknowledge that i'm not a spring chicken anymore. i guess it's better to be a slow learner than have a touch of insanity, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. the big question i'll soon face will be what number to stop and adopt as a workout standard? my revised goal remains the same, being able to perform 60 push ups within 60 minutes by my 60th birthday. this goal seems to have a certain symmetry to it. who knows, i may become the vitruvian man.
so hillary what's her name wants to be president again. here are 5 FACTS ABOUT THE LOVELY HILLARY'S FAITH. the question in my mind is are these facts true or part of a phoney baloney political campaign. carrying a bible in her purse and having daily prayers for inspiration do not inspire confidence with me. in my world, important decisions are based on verifiable facts, not on religious dogma and blind faith. so it goes.
god said to abraham, kill me a son.....
i love you sons of bitches.

Hillary's faith is the phoniest thing since Phil Spector's wig. Back in the 70s she was a strident anti-religion feminist.
Doing push-ups slowly is easier on the lungs but harder on the arms. Everyone needs to find their own ideal rhythm.
It could be said that god told Bill to get some blowjobs at work being as the sex life at home was lacking.
I think if you get to 20 push-ups you should call it good.
gb - i guess it's impossible to get elected if you're an atheist. if there were 3 candidates; a jew, a muslim and an atheist. which one would win?
bbc - yeah, 20 is the number i have in mind. i could do 20 now but that might do some damage and send me back to square one.
We did push-ups everyday in bootcamp, twenty five as I recall. More if we fucked up.
I'm to .5 mile walking but my back is still killing me.
king - yeah, the karate sensei made us do push ups when we screwed up. they get a lot tougher as we age.
bob - add a few meters each day?
Sounds like you have a good pace going. You're the only one who can decide what you can and cannot handle, and when. If you want it, and it ain't gonna kill you on the way to it - do it!
I don't want Hillary's faith... unless we're talking 'Chinese Buffet'... all you can eat!
Good luck BP. I look forward to hearing about you reaching your goal. I hear ya about not being a spring chicken anymore. My mind thinks I can still do a lot of stuff I did in my youth but my body reminds me the next day that it's not happening.
dixie - i'd pay $10 for some good faith. that good faith, not blind faith.
mr shife - yes, and 99 times out of 100 the body is correct. someone ought to do something about our faulty minds.
