    And a bunch of others that will either start next week (FLYBYE!) or have already started.

    I was gone all weekend and just arrived home this evening...and remembered that I needed to start the challenge. After I had dinner. And some wine. And I had a bit of a rough drive home from Flaming Gorge. But I conquered anyway:

    10, 10, 8, 6, 23

    I think without alcohol the max (last number) could have been one or two more. Maybe.

    I have a hard time looking up/forward (or whatever that is). I like to look down at the floor, keeping my neck straighter (I think). I can't do as many looking up/forward.

    Let's hear from the rest of you!!

    P.S. SadieKate, I saw most of a drift boat wrapped around a rock on the Green over the weekend. I of course avoided all holes, rocks, and undercut anything. Not that it's hard to do on that section below Flaming Gorge. And I was in a duckie...Mr. yellow and friends were in Merganser.

    I started Friday...

    and managed a measely 5 on the initial test. Followed the column for <6 and did 4 for the max rep. Yesterday I was able to do 8. I had some back spasms Sunday, but I'm not sure if that's from riding (it's way down near my tailbone), or if the push-ups are aggravating something, but I'm sticking with it! The sprained wrist is hanging in there, and while extremely sore over the weekend, my shoulders are now down to a dull ache

    Oh, I also challenged my cousin. She's the catcher on the Keene State softball team and is studying to be a PE teacher. Needless to say, I think she's got a bit of a headstart on me, but I like the challenge and at least want to make a showing. At the very least I'll be building some much-needed muscle.

    I either need to get a lower bench or do full-out floor pu's.
    It seemed too easy.

    I did the <6 column yesterday. My chest near my armpits is actually sore this morning!
