I have to stop reading thrillers before bed. It makes me paranoid. Rain on my bedroom window sounds just like an evil serial rapist sneaking down the hallway.
While I was creeping around facebook, procrastinating at work, I read about a new challenge, I love a challenge. It’s the 100 x 100 challenge. Which translates to 100 push ups everyday for 100 days.
Fun!
So I started Friday, I did 65. It was really hard. I stopped. Saturday I forgot about it completely. Yesterday I did 40, deciding this is a fools game. I think I need to divide them into doable sets, like 20 sets of 5 … or forget challenge all together.

it’s like you had your whole cycle in two days.
Hmm.. No part of 100 pushups a day for 100 days sounds “fun” to me.
Ughhh, I hate pushups!!!!! Good luck with that, I’ve been doing pushups lately but I can’t even do one correctly so I opt to do them on my knees and still I can only do 25. I’m such a pansy.
Great job! 65…INSANE!
Don’t read “The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon”, by Stephen King ! scary!!
100 x 100? I think 1 x 10 sounds a whole lot more doable to me!
Wow, 100 x 100! I’d have to break them up in sets of 10 and even then spread it out all day. What a great challenge! Good luck!
65 straight?! Dang girl. I assumed you had broke *those* up. Very impressive (assuming these are not modified push-ups. If they are well, then only 65…..:)
To clarify or come clean … I can’t do 65 straight … if I could I’d want money for that type of craziness. I think I did 25, then lay in a fetal position for an hour and wept. Then I did 2 x 20, with a 30 minute break for wine between sets.
Today I have done 4 sets of 0, I have another 3 sets of 0 planned before bed.
I read this and thought I can do that. I did 10 full and couldn’t do any more. I have no upper body strength, I think I am going to try and add one more each day.
