"My name is Pedal Wench, I am definitely in for starting week 1 on 9/1, and I am damn proud to be taking on this challenge, beginning with column 1"



You're doing it. Nothing to be embarrassed about!!!!!

100PUO

[Pedal Wench]

Okay, fine, whatever.

I just did Day 1. 2 knees, 2 regular (but only half-way down), 2 knees, 1 regular-ish, 2 knees, then my max. 3 and a half...

[OakLeaf]

+1! Go for it PedalWench!

I was just thinking to myself earlier tonight that all of you who're starting from just a very few pushups, are more likely to make it to 100 than I am - simply because I'm not unhappy now with the number that I can do.

You gals are going to start doing this and seeing amazing progress and just not see any reason to quit until you've reached your goal of 100!

Whereas my lazy *ss will probably latch onto any excuse

100PUS? That sounds sort of disgusting. Then there is 100PUC. OK. Hmm.

Here's the VERY rough draft of my spreadsheet. I'll log everyone's Day 3 results for each week as send the news feed. Maybe some of you can see it but I'll publish as an image when we get it going for real. Just make sure you post confirmation about whether you want to be part of the spreadsheet.

Pedal Wench - remember yellow is going to visiting me end of Week 5/beg of Week 5. Nobody has a lead on me for embarrassment.

WackyJacky1 is definitely in, starting 9/1 (well, 9/2, really ), and is in Column 1.

Aggie_Ama started week 1 the week of 9/1. Group 2.

[OakLeaf]

I'll go in the spreadsheet too, Group 3 for now.

I notice in the program, group can change depending on the interim max-out tests. Does the draft allow for that?

[SouthernBelle]

My name is Southern Belle and I'm a push up wuss.

Which sounds only slightly better than PUS.

I started 9/1 at L1.

Today I did the 2nd day!!

PUC, I am indeed 'out of balance' (not the first time). More of my weight is shifting to my right side. If this doesn't correct soon, I will give a look at your balance thingie.

My Friday sesson may get shifted to Sat as for the next 2 days I will be doing all of my CLE in one fell swoop, aka the 2 days of hell.

[NoNo]

I started 8/29 at level 1. Day 3 is today!

[Becky]

I started Monday at Level 1. Today is Day 2 and I still ache from the first round! I'm trying to do these as "real" pushups, so my initial test was only 5.... We'll see how far my stubbornness gets me.

[bluebug32]

I started on 9/2, so on Day 1, I did levels 1-5 and maxed out on the last one with 7 push-ups. I'm enjoying the program so far. My fiance can do 30 pushups with me sitting on his back, and I struggle to do 10 with no additional weight, so hopefully my wimpiness will change soon!

[Trek420]

I blame my new floors, too slippery to gain purchase with my toes. Standard PU I put one foot behind the other like a tripod. I don't know why, 2 feet feels uncomfortable to me.

But I kept slipping out and landing flat on the floor like a bear-skin rug.

I borrowed my mutts rug and did girly-style knee push ups, 3 sets of 6.

[Grog]

Grog, started on 9/1 in Column 2.

[SadieKate]

I notice in the program, group can change depending on the interim max-out tests. Does the draft allow for that?

I'm happy to move people from one group (column) as necessary, but let's not expect do-over weeks. Otherwise, the PUS will turn into the PU Shrew.

This is a 6-week "hoorah for us" challenge. We can always start another 6-week challenge after.

What happens if you make a [SportTracks] category under your own activities? How does it mess up the cycling/running stats?

The best place to enter PUs is in the mileage column so that you can run activitiy reports showing frequency and totals.

If you do this under your own activities, the PUs add to your mileage at zero speed and falsly increase ride/run/swim frequency. SportTracks is really focused on events that have distance or speed attached, but apparently the enhancement to use for stationary workout activities has been requested.

None of this may be important to you . . .
