Shoved a lawnmower around a quarter of the yard on Sunday and another quarter on Wednesday, which is probably as good as pushups for my upper-body strength, definitely better than a walk around the block for my cardio, but effectively killed my motivation for the week. (Ow. I liked it better when this was my brother's job.) Starting on other half later this afternoon, but my legs still hurt from Wednesday so I don't expect much.

Speaking of pushups. I heard somewhere that people who can't manage them parallel to the floor should try at a thirty-degree angle, or forty-five or sixty or ninety, and when each angle gets easy decrease the angle. That true?
