About Me

I am a not yet 55 year old woman married for 25+ years, 4 kids, 1 dog and 1 cat. The kids are beginning to leave home. One is launched, one is in college and 2 are still at home. As a couple we are entering the final stage of our parenting journey: the teenage years and beyond. We are starting to dream and think and plan for those years when the house is quiet and it is just us once again. Please join me as I explore what it means to grow older with adventure and grace.

The Hundred Push Up Challenge Week 1 Completed. It Was a Gloat Week!

Thank you to every one who commented on The Hundred Push Up Challenge.

All said they would give it a try!

If you post about your experience on your blog and would like some linky love, leave the link in a comment or on e-card and I will post the links next Monday when I do my weekly gloat or mea culpa about how I am doing. Please include a link to The Hundred Push Up Challenge web site. This idea is not original to me and link credit should be given where link credit is due.

Last week by the end of the week I did 22 push ups!! (And I learned how to spell push up, two words, not one.) I was a little sore. Day three of week one recommends 120 seconds rest between sets. I though ha! But by the end of the third set (out of 5 sets) 120 seconds of rest seemed very,very reasonable.

I think this is going to be doable in six weeks, probably, possibly, almost definitely….we will see.

The schedule calls for 30 push ups by the end of the week two. Stay tuned…

Better yet, there is still time to join it!

I would be doing a great deal better if I hadn't misread the instructions. I thought it was too easy! As it is, I am now playing catch-up as well as push up.

This sounds like an interesting challenge. Does it have to be military push ups or can I do 'girl' push ups?

Hi Penny, There is a link (at least there should be, if I didn't forget ) to the 100 push up challenge in the post. At that site there is a schedule of how many push up s to do a day. I am going the alternative ones and I did 30 on Monday. I still have to do them today.
