About to get a little "spring" back in my step

It's 40 degrees and sunny today... Hallelujah!!!  It's the first above freezing day in several weeks and the snow is melting quickly...

Things started to turn this weekend and I did get outside on Sunday.  It was in the upper 20s but 14 MPH wind that still made it suck balls.  I got through it by running about 10 x100 step surges starting with mile 5.  That wound up taking about 30 seconds off my pace as I went from 8:20 miles to 7:50s.  I finished up with 10 miles at 8:02 pace in 1:20:39.  I really be getting longer runs in as my last 3 "long" runs have only been 10 miles, but the cold winds and icy roads have really cramped my style... I'm healthy though and ready to get back to the grind as the weather turns.

Also, I signed up for a 5K on March 13th.  I've been debating it but finally decided to pull the trigger.  Not sure how fast I am at this point but I guess we'll see.

2021 GOALS PROGRESS UPDATE:

More Mondays, more updates

1. 10,000 pushups:  2537/on pace for 17471... 10, 12,12,12, 16 at 155lbs on the bench today.  I'm finally starting to see some progress on the bench.  Think consistency has something to with it.  Might be time to pump up the weight a bit.

2. 7500 pulls ups:  1577/on pace for 10860...  9 sets of 12 on Saturday made up for some previous slacking.  

3. 26 Hours on the Bike: I'm almost at 12 hours now and it's only February.  Easy 36 minutes today (12 miles) marked my easiest day in a while.   

4. 2021 miles:  344.32... 50 miles ahead of pace.  44 miles last week and slowly building back to 50.
