The One Hundred Push Up Challenge Week 3: Mea Culpa
Monday, November 3, 2008 at 08:00AM
Confession time: I did not do three secessions last week. I have no excuse. I wasn’t diligent to do what I committed to do. I will do better this week.
(Please note if you are a teen, copy and save the above mea culpa. It will get you out of a lot of trouble. It will be better of you mean it. If you use the term, “mea culpa” you might so distract your parents with your brilliance they may forget what you are mea culpaing about to begin with.)
I did do 60 push up in one secession this past week! If you suggested I would be able to do 60 (weenie) pushups three weeks ago, I would have begged to differ. Around push up number 50, I had an amazing experience. My stomach muscles chime in to complain with my shoulder muscles that I was abusing them. Ah, lazy stomach muscles need all the challenge they can get! My elbow was clicking away. This challenge is becoming a total body experience.
I expect to hear from my toes some time this week.
This challenge is far more doable than I expected. If you are intrigued check out The Hundred Push Up Challenge web site. This would be a nice Christmas/New Years present to give yourself. To be able to truthfully say, “I did it!” (That was worth a split infinitive)
Think about it!
