That's one of the "dangers" of me posting these wild ideas to the blog ("I'm going to run a marathon", "I'm going to start counting calories again", "I'm going to do the push-up challenge")...once it is out there, I'm accountable to follow through.<BR/><BR/>Of course, it's not all bad. Seven weeks ago when I struggled to do 11 push ups - and did 29 push-ups on my first 5-set workout - I could not have imagined a day when I would do 28 push ups in a row and 94 push ups in a 5-set workout!<BR/><BR/>Good luck with the program. I'm sure in no time you'll be out push-uping me - just like your race PRs are eclipsing mine!!!Mike Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09894036682226358146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3832878616529324626.post-49343013052568757362008-12-03T23:41:00.000-05:002008-12-03T23:41:00.000-05:00Wow, that is really encouraging.

I was sore from the test yesterday which only took about a minute - how pathetic!<BR/><BR/>I think I have recruited between 3 and 5 friends who might do this with me (virtually). I hope that will help.<BR/><BR/>I am working off the principle that if I tell several people that I am doing this challenge it will be harder to wuss out.Ziahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15653892970097949878noreply@blogger.com
