Thanks for making these posts @Nuttall.
It had been a week since the challenge started. One awesome thing about joining this challenge is that my older son, who is 11, and who is into drawing, reading, video games, but definitely not physical activities, started doing push ups with me. For the two evening sets I do every day after work, he would try his best to do as much as he can next to me. I felt very happy that he was willing to join me each day, voluntarily.
Did my 100 yesterday, 40-40-20 as usual.
It's maxi Sunday, but my maxi stands for maximum, not maximalist. Just attempted the maximum number of push ups I can do in 1 set, and hit 80, a new personal best. 20 remain for today.
It's also long run Sunday. Did my long run this morning, slow and out of shape, but at least I hit the distance I planned to run, 17km.

Great job? Marathon or race training?
Wow! That is great that your son sees dad and wants to get into the action. My dad was really a blessing to me. We worked together for many years in commercial concrete construction. He also facilitated my desire to read so he never hesitated to fund my book habit.
In elementary school they told my parents I was mentally disabled and needed remedial reading. So in 3rd or 4th grade I was sent to the Kindergarten wing to learn how to read. I would bring Dungeons and Dragons books. One day the teacher aid asked what I was reading. She was shocked. I was reading adult role playing game books and drawing dungeons. Needless to say I got kicked out and I had to join the real world again.
Once it gets warmer I might share my Kayak trip data, too. I was a good runner for a while and I'm sure I can still run since I do physical labor to make my fiat. I'm on my leggs about 8 hours a day and this is on a barge that rocks. I also have to climb over debris on the barge so my glutes get plenty of action.
I appreciate your sharing and I hope others will get into this as well.

Awesome for you to share your story! One thing I share with your dad is that I encourage my kids to read and is always willing to buy books that they want. It is the only nonessential thing I would buy for them without questions asked. They have to use their own money if they want to get other nonessential things.
Looking forward to read about your kayak trips.
