Thursday night I finished the Week 4 program on Level 2. Last night I took the exhaustion test and did 50 pushups. This puts me off the charts for this point of the program: 31-35 pushups puts you in Level 1, 36-40 in Level 2, and 40+ in Level 3. NB: I just noticed I’ve [...]
Thursday night I finished the Week 3 program on Level 2. My performance was similar to Day 2. I was able to exceed the minimum on the last set by just a few, but ended up doing 105 pushups overall in 5 sets, 2 minutes apart. This is the first time I broke 100. I’m [...]
Much, much better than Day 1. Back in my Level 2 sweet spot, I did just fine on Day 2. The program requires: 22 17 17 15 20 minimum 91 total I did 25 in the last set, for 96 total. The Day 3 workout is tougher than the Level 3 Day 1 workout I [...]
That was too tough. As I wrote Saturday, I did enough pushups in the interim test before Week 3 to graduate to the third level of difficulty. The jum was too much. In fact, the jump from Week 2 Day 3 at Level 2 to Week 3 Day 1 at Level 2 is pretty high. [...]

Let’s start with my usual disclaimer about all things Nascar — I’m not an expert. I’m actually quite the newbie, and just blog aboput stuff as I start to figure things out. One thing I know, though, is that I really enjoy restrictor plate racing. It was after the Talladega restrictor plate race earlier that [...]
I am so very much not qualified to be a source of information on this, but I’ve noticed a meaningful number of people coming to this blog searching for information on the M&Ms car, and Kyle Busch sponsor information, that I feel I should make the attempt. I’m guessing that (1) there’s a fair number [...]
I have twice before written about my indecision over whether to stick with Phanfare. Their update to version 2.0 is pretty much complete, and I was finally switched to the new version last week. After all the kerfuffle. I’m staying. It still has fantastic features and service, and I never found any really adequate replacement. [...]
