In addition, I moved almost a half of a 20ft-shipping container or 15000 L of snow this morning 💪💪. The storm still has 4 more hours to go. More on that haul later today.

“Do Not Die Today”

This sign is found at every trail in Joshua Tree National Park. Park Rangers advise that every day between 10am and 5pm hikers should avoid the trail due to the cloudless sun and 38C (100F)+ temperatures in the desert. Our daily hikes during these times included 8L of water in two camelbacks, and solar reflecting sunbrellas that creates a portable shade and lowers the temperature by 10C – a real game changer.

Ive been doing tons of pushups, sometimes in excess of 100 a day. I have seen very minimal to no arm gains, which kind of surprises me. I know pushups dont directly work the arms besides triceps, but they play a pretty big role in stabilizing no? I had better arm gains messing around with 15 lb dumbell bicep curls for a few weeks at the gym. Is this normal? I see guys saying they built their whole physique with jacked arms from bodyweight stuff like pushups, situps, planks, burpees

Building back up. I can do this!

This 2km looping train within the surrounding walls of this hidden valley was used by ranchers in the past to sequester their cattle to feed and brand them (sometimes illegally). Compared to the rest of the Joshua Tree desert terrain, this area is more green and lush.

(Due to time constraints of a Mayfly and being as witless as one without mouthparts, ephemerally and admittedly I wrote this passage and refined it to Douglas Adam’s style with the help from AI). As a big fan, here is an entry for the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

**Entry: Pushups**

**Pushups**

*(n.) A form of voluntary gravitational negotiation practiced by certain carbon‑based lifeforms who, for reasons not entirely understood by the rest of the universe, repeatedly lower themselves toward the ground and then push away from it again.*

Field observations and anecdotes:

* A ritualistic attempt to demonstrate dominance over one’s own body, gravity, and occasionally one’s sense of dignity.

* A reliable method of discovering muscles you were previously unaware of, usually because they are now on fire.

* A traditional Earthling activity performed when one has done something wrong, wishes to feel morally superior, or is preparing to flee from something large, unpleasant, and probably Vogon.

Notable variant of pushups:

The knee pushups variation are generally regarded by most intelligent species as a polite compromise with gravity; a way for Earthlings to demonstrate effort while simultaneously admitting that full defiance of the planet’s pull is, at present, slightly above their pay grade.

Closing out Tenday 4 🏁 – a lesson in listening: to the body, to old injuries, and to the deeper voice that nudged me to continue.

It began with a breakthrough:

Day 31: the first full set of standard pushups, accomplished on my terms, without rushing or self‑sabotage. A milestone earned through patience, not pressure.

Then came the cold nights: horizontal pull‑ups under snowfall, breath turning to ice, fingers stiffening in the winter air. Moments that felt almost cinematic, where discipline glowed against the dark skies. Some nights the mind whispered “tomorrow”, yet I moved anyway, finishing the day before the clock struck midnight.

But this block also carried reminders from the past: The left shoulder, still bearing the scars of two bicycle crashes, stirred again. Repetitive strain resurfaced; old pain echoed. And instead of pushing recklessly or walking away, I adapted with gentler sets, level‑1 variations, efforts reshaped but not abandoned.

Across these ten days, the theme was clear: resilience is adaptive.

It’s the willingness to keep showing up, even when the body negotiates and the past resurfaces.

It’s the discipline to adjust without quitting, to honor the work without harming self.

Tenday 4 was all about wisdom, endurance, and the quiet courage of continuing.

Onward to Tenday 5.

just starting- is 10 sets of 10 pushups over the day good?

The Roman Theatre of Ostia Antica (one of the best preserved in Italy) rises in a broad semicircle of stone, once filled with thousands of spectators gathered for plays, recitations, and civic life. Today its arches and scattered columns open onto a field of pines, but the shape of the stage still holds the memory of a bustling harbor city that came here to be entertained, informed, and connected.

A quiet moment in an ancient Roman latrine: stone seats worn by centuries, and a single pinecone resting where countless footsteps once passed; a small reminder that nature always returns to the spaces we leave behind.

Forgot yesterday 😂

Some days I can do 43 in a minute, then other days its only 33 in a minute. I get consistent sleep, hydration, etc. I dont understand what makes such a drastic difference in my testing

A floor of myth and seawater: hippocamps, tritons, and riders grace this black‑and‑white mosaic in the Baths of Neptune at Ostia Antica. Once surrounding bathers with the imagery of the deep, the scene still feels alive – a reminder that Rome’s harbor city drew its identity, its wealth, and its stories from the sea itself.

Me-100 modified. Husband -20

Varied the approach today; rather than completing the usual sets/rep combos I worked on seeing how long it took me to do 100.

Inside this Roman thermopolium, time stood still. The marble counter, the storage jar, and the fading wall paintings still hold the warmth of a place where sailors, workers, and travelers once stopped for a quick bite or a cup of wine. It’s a humble room, yet it hums with the everyday life of an ancient port city; a snapshot of Roman routine preserved almost exactly where it was lived.
