There are after all 110 days until the Missoula Marathon, I think I can take an unscheduled rest day. I even took a nap in the afternoon. The day was pretty lazy really. I cleaned house in the morning, but by supper time the kids had all their stuff spread out again..typical.
My daughter is getting this cold too, she spent most of the night coughing in my ear. Restful.
I did find a fun article yesterday on shape.com 13 Simple Ways to Amp Up Your Pushup and incorporated some of them in to my workout yesterday. All images from shape.com.

I find that spider pushup terrifying.
ReplyDeleteThe sphinx makes my arms want to fall off. Awful!
ReplyDeleteI think your safe with a rest day! I hope you're feeling better today! Those push-ups are hard core!!
ReplyDeleteThe spider pushup is so difficult for me..... I am not very flexible...... I look like i'm pretending to be a dog peeing on a hydrant ;-)
ReplyDeleteYes, you are free take an unscheduled rest day. You have plenty of time to prepare for Missoula. You are already doing awesome training runs. :-)
ReplyDeleteI do a lot of the workouts you had posted above on my Tues & Thurs strength training days. They are killers!
Wow, kindergarten! So exciting! Glad you are on the mend:)
ReplyDeleteHaHa! Love the last picture. My kids are totally in that phase, too. I can't get a nice picture even if I bribe them!
ReplyDeleteThose pushups scare me!
ReplyDeleteYour kiddos are adorable! I still have a hard time getting my 20 year old to smile normal!
I hope y'all feel better real soon!
Ummm, that reptile push up looks wicked and by the look of how red that girl is in the face, it feels just as wicked to do it! :)
ReplyDeleteYay for kindergarten - our Munchkin is so ready to start this fall also:) Hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteThat sphynx pushup scares me! Might have to try it tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get over this cold soon - I know I hate being sick!
Don't EVER feel bad for an unscheduled rest day, your body needs it, especially if you are getting sick...hope you feel better soon. Thanks for the fun pushup ideas, I've actually been curious about how to amp up pushups lately, good timing!
ReplyDeletehope you are feeling better today friend! those push-ups look intense...once i get brave enough I will have to try some :)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear your little chica is sick. Thats never fun. I love all these exercises, but thanks for the refresher. I'm gonna have to rock them out this morning!
ReplyDeleteKiley @ DVF
They are too cute and comical in that picture!!
ReplyDeleteI love the sphinx push up! But i'm weird like that!
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon!!!
Sorry you're feeling yucky, hopefully it passes quickly. Isn't kindy registration exciting, it's such a big step.
ReplyDeleteI signed my baby up for Kindergarten yesterday as well! I'll admit that I got a little misty-eyed. :-)
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better today!
Those look like some intense push-ups! Sadly I can't do many of the non-intense push-ups so I will just stick to those until I can push farther!
ReplyDeleteoh man, I sure hope you both start feeling better. I am signing my Avery up for kindergarten tomorrow and its sad and exciting at the same time!
ReplyDeleteI did some plank rows today - killer.....I am no where near the other two.
ReplyDeletefeel better xoxoxox
So glad to hear you're feeling better today. Those pushup modifications look killer. I can barely do a few real pushups but keep trying!
ReplyDeleteI hope you and your little girl feel better soon! My girl was home today with bronchitis--she has a prescription now, so hopefully it will pass soon.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, isn't kindergaren exciting?! The school my twins are going to has a "visit day" in May, and I think I'm as excited as they are.
Smart to listen to your body and take a rest day - will lead to quicker recovery. I'm signing my daughter up for kindy this year! I can't believe it!
ReplyDeleteI am not sure I'd be smiling that close to a dinosaur's mouth. :)
ReplyDeleteHA! My younger cousin is almost 18 and still can't (won't) smile right for the camera! :)
ReplyDeleteGet some rest and feel better! That spider pushup destroys me. My husband refuses to smile nice for the camera too, unless a beg. It's an illness.
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon!
ReplyDelete(ugh and I totally can't do push-ups...I need to work on this, I'm sure it'll improve my runner form!)
uuuuhhh...can you explain what exactly she is doing in those photos???? what the? that looks HARD!
ReplyDeletei really like the spider push up, I've been trying to do that a lot!
