this morning, the 100 pushup challenge was completed! i’m pretty dang pleased too. i’ve gotten quite a bit of response from the facebook crowd as i’ve been posting the “100 pushup challenge – day ##: complete” message in my status the last couple few days.
“what’s the 100 pushup challenge all about?” or “what’s the 100 pushup thing?”… once i explain it to them, they exclaim that they’re going to try it too. well, so far i haven’t heard from anyone who’s claimed to go for it – how they’re doing on it. it’s tough to stick with it, specially some days…
and since i’ve come this far, my next challenge is to keep going… i don’t think i’m going to keep adding one, but i am going to start the 10,000 pushup challenge, 10kpc, 100 for 100… now that ive gotten the 100 pushups done, i’ll try to do 100 pushups for 100 days – for a total of 10,000 pushups.
Edit 4/25/09:
I’ve renamed the challenge a couple times, i think we’ll stick with 100 for 100… it’s day 15, so far so good! the 100 is getting easier, too!
100 pushup challenge… yesterday i did 50 pushups. today, i just did my 51 pushups. outside of a sporadic p90x workout, that’s all i’ve been able to find time to do in terms of working out. it blows like the wind on a blustery day, but as of late, i just do not have the time to workout.

i have a new quest even though it’s more of a challenge. i started it January 1st, 2009. the quest is (as the title of this post states) 100 push-ups. it’s an idea i got from the CrossFit website – the 100 push-up challenge. that is on the first day, you do one push-up. on the second day, you do two push-ups… you do that for 100 days, each day adding one more push-up. i figured this would be a good reintroduction for me into the world of ‘lifting’ with my shoulder being still not at 100%. today, i did my 12 push-ups. and i’ve noticed me leaning more on my left arm the last couple days of my push-ups. with me being cognizant of it, i’m trying to stay balanced on both of my arms.
initially, i thought it would be cool to post this as 100! pushups… which, of course, would be wrong because i had to google 100!. and google’s fun calculator returned the value 9.33262154 × 10157, which is big much bigger than i had thought… and that’s when i realized 100! is not 1+2+3+4…+99+100… it’s 1x2x3x4…x99x100. alas, the kewlness of the post’s title dropped 100! fold (ha).
