Well my intention was to do my new routine but I did 3 sets of 50 push ups and it didn't even touch me!!!

so I ended up sticking to the press ups and did an all time personal best of 1900!!!

This time I just kept on going and going, I didn't feel dead afterwards like I usually do either.

I did 31 push ups once. That is my record.

Good Job on your stuff though

Did 540squats and 2500 calf raises, today.

I was able to run 5 miles in under 39 minutes, but now I have constant soreness in my calf muscles, even when I don't work out or run. I truly miss running and don't won't to give it up, but I'm out until I can find a solution or relief to my pain.

Today was supposed to be rest day but it was too much of a beautiful day not to do something.

Did part of my new routine and I loved it the high light was doing 20 chins in one set and 6 handstand push ups.

Rawdev,

If you like running, you should check out Stu Mittleman's "Slow Burn" That guy is awesome, he has the world record for running 1,000 miles in just under 12 days. He is all about the raw foods too, the book is packed with good nutritional information and inspiring stories.

Oneris, thanks I'm now in the process of buying that book on Amazon.

Sundays is mess around day and I did a bit of wieghts and a bit of calisthenics, ended up with a personal best of 50 dips in one set.

Thanks Oneris. I looked up the book on Amazon.

"When I first started competing in multiday events, I viewed meal breaks as a welcome relief from an otherwise tedious and austere day. Food is instant gratification in a world devoid of pleasure; it exists only to provide me with immediate energy and pleasure and enough of an incentive to keep me going until my next meal break. Now, after changing my nutrition strategies to rely more on a balanced approach to eating, not just on carbohydrates for energy, I've come to recognize that moving itself is what I crave--not the eating. I feel as if I can move continuously, effortless, and forever. Food is now the means to an end, not an end in and of itself....In essence, my relationship to food has flipped-flopped. Eating is no longer the reward for continuously moving; being able to continuously move is the reward for eating right."

What a great quote!

Mess around day today with my buddy in what we call "the ghetto gym"

because it has the bare essentsials!!



We benched and I did:

10 reps 225lbs
9 reps 250lbs
5 reps 275lbs.

Felt good and strong!!!!

This is me so far, I've got a ways to go but I'm real happy with my progress!

Ok you squares!!!!

I was gonna take the day off because I went on a long hike today but I decided I was gonna do something and seeing as though my legs were toasted I thought I would try my hand at these one handed push ups....

I did 700 in total.

It was a good achievement considering I'm pretty new to that exercise.

I find this fascinating..

About muscle soreness, I don't know how relevant this is, but supposedly chia seeds are a real miracle food for marathons and such, prevent the builup of lactic acid which causes muscle pain.

Here's an interesting article on lactic acid.

So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains and we never even know we have the key.

Wow! You do all that on fruit alone? Impressive. I have to look into that.

Ok here's some early updates just for fun!

Thomas:

I still think it is funny -- don't stress about the number, at least you're trying the pushups.

I had a personal best today -- I swam 2 miles in 50 minutes! I was very proud of myself. Is it cheating if I am not a fruitarian, but a raw foodist generally?

Raw Daddy -- livin' raw and lovin' it

Cheating what????

Fruitarians and Raw Vegans are pretty much the same thing unless your into all the "Raw" cookies, ice cream, etc.

Yes, I love raw ice creams, so I am not quite the same! The cookies, however, I think are nasty.

Taken today..









I'm changing everyday and I think you can see the changes better here.

cool, fruitarian one!

Thanks cfd7f for the support. I used to be unable to do any pushups, so progress is progress!

PROGRESS!!!!

I love it....
