Hello!

I’m Sarah Mac. I’m a writer, mom, runner. This is my original running blog, Running Starfish, started in 2009 to chronicle my first (and supposed to be last) marathon, all the way through qualifying for the 2016 Olympic Trials Marathon.

Push Up Variations

Today after my run I did circuit training. I actually love strength training. I think it's fun. I'm looking forward to adding more to my training. Most specifically I like doing push-ups. (I know I have a problem) But I was the girl (barely) benching the bar in high school gym class, so I feel pretty buff when I power through a minute of spider man push-ups. And yes I do grunt.

Annnyway. The two push-up variations in today's workout were the 'T push-up' and 'push-up + plank row'. All push-ups work the core and legs, with a focus in shoulders and chest. But these two variations take the stability core work up a notch. Killing two birds, my friends.
