was doing my pushups during the PT test and got 51 before I had to take a breather.  anything over 49 is good. 17 more to go.  I did 10 more. breather.  then i did some more, was at 65 and went down, came back up, got half way up..kept fighting, people were cheering me on, i went to my right, kept tryin to get up.  then i went to my middle, barely off the ground,  people thought I gave up and expressed such nonsense.  I told the grader I was still in the fight.   fough for at least 30 sec before I gave up.

 

I thought I went down once, then tried again and it happened, but maye i did 3 before it.  eitehr way I was fricken killing the pushups and felt great.  and to fight it for 30 seconds proves i wasn't tired, my arms weren't sore...at 51 i knew I had the pushups...oh well.

 

then the situps. did 51 in the first minute.  personal best.  i told the grader and the person holding my feet to make sure my hands were interlockked behind my head.  i stopped once to get the count - 51.  then i stopped again to move my left foot which was pretty much touching my butt.  the grader kept saying my hands weren't interlocked.  no idea how cuz thats all I was focused on.  felt interlocked to me.

 

only got 68. but i wasnt pushing myself as hard as I usually do. need 68 pushups, 73 situps. doing it again thusrday.

 

run, man it hurt.  got a 13:55 or something.  same as last month.  but my sides were squeezing my lungs or something, didnt feel good at all.  took me at least 5 min after the run to feel decent, another 5 to get back to near normal.  that fuckin hurt.  i was rollin around the ground tryin to breath right.

 

last thursday's hockey game I felt winded much earlier and with much less effort.  no way Im out of shape.

 

i weight 182.  gained 3 lbs since last month.

 

too easy.

so yesterday, i worked on the garden for over an hour in the nice hot sun.  dug up all the plants I had and made an actual garden plot.  there's one plant, no idea what it is, its at least half a foot tall, growing for 3-4 weeks now.  none of the other plants look like it, so no idea which one iti s.  I really want the strawberry plants to grow.  i saw one growing.

 

then laid in a nice warm bath and got a back massage, then had some physical action, in a humid house.  drank a ton of water, i'd say 15 cups of water/gatorade/ice tea before going to the blood plasma place.  came back, drank another 2 or 3 cups. after halo drank another 2.  woke up in the middle of the night and went to teh bathroom.  felt like shit.  woke up and felt like shit, drank probably 10 cups of water.  went to teh PT test , drank a bunch more, and felt great.
