I am the warrior... and heart to heart, you'll win

55,725 pushups completed

944,275 to go

686 pushups ahead of schedule



It's been almost two months since my last update. I apologize... for nothing! Doing pushups is hard business... and business is good. You expect me to average 275 pushups a day for TEN YEARS and worry about updating my blog? If the choice came down to updating my blog (or weblog if you please) and doing one additional pushup, I'd choose the pushup. Every. Darn. Time.



In fact, this post is being tapped out one character at a time. Tap a key, pushup, lower down, tap next key. Repeat. While resting I peck out a few characters with my nose. Shift key with my tongue for capitalization. I feel that punctuation is very important.



So what have I been doing other than pushups? We're in the middle of triathlon season. I've done the Batavia duathlon, Twin Lakes Sprint Tri, and Lake Zurich Olympic Triathlon. So far so good. 8/1 is Rockford, 8/29 is Chicago, and September 11 is Burrito Union 10 hour triathlon in Superior, Wisconsin.



You might be wondering; what do triathlons have to do with pushups? Mind your business; it's my blog. In fact, I'm going to end it right here. Maybe next time you'll think first before criticizing my blog.



It's been a thin slice of heaven.



Peace out,



Thunder John
