Only one kind of push up in my book.

You know, as much as it sucks to wake up in the dark and drive yourself to an hour of hill repeats, this whole AM track thing is really starting to grow on me. No matter what bullshit comes along the rest of the day I know I have kicked some hill butt before 7am and nothing will be more challenging the rest of the day. (hopefully) So this morning we did our routine circuit drills and hill repeats. Just the regular 3 hills with drills in between, for a total of 5 complete sets. I am officially the only girl to do the "boy" pushups. I had a mentor ask why I do them, and I responded that I didn't like the gender specific distinction and I saw only one way to do a pushup; the other is simply a modification to make it easier. The comment wasn't as well recieved as I'd hoped...but they never are. She said "of course they are gender specific, that's why I do the girl ones...because I'm a girl." She didn't get it - or maybe I'm just a push up snob. Either way, I guess my pecs appreciate me in the end.
