    Week 4, Day 3

    Week 4, Column 1, Day 3: I barely eeked out the minimum, 80 pups.

    I'm, nervous for the test on Saturday. I don't think I'll be able to advance to week 5. I'm okay with that though, because I can do twice as many pups in one set than I could do 4 weeks ago. So what if it takes me a little longer to get to 100? I don't mind.

    Hey, that's what it's all about. The PUO and I even got into a discussion of technique and I ended up doing a 6 set. If I wake up tomorrow and can't raise my arms, it's all her fault.

    She even had me trying headstands again. Jiminy.

    Week 4, Day 3: 160, barely

    I have decided I am going to go for the numbers even if I have to take more breaks. Day 2 and Day 3 this week, I had to take a few extra seconds during the last "as many as you can, but at least...." set.

    If I do say so myself, my arms are looking pretty good!

    I must also admit to finding my whole body more toned this week. True of my arms and middle in particular, but perhaps it's the commuting (which includes hill sprints) but my thighs are lookin' good too.

    Stepping down to column 2 was the right decision for me.

    Well, I have to bag this one for now.

    I fell on my wrist when I went hiking September 1st. I have ignored it even though the simple things like folding laundry HURT!

    I have wrapped my wrist before I have done push ups and it really has not bothered me. BUT, it has been 25 days and I still haven't healed, so I am going to baby my wrist until it gets better.

    I went to the medical supply store (not a place I would suggest if you are looking for a little shopping therapy) and got a splint. Ugly. Black. Not quite the fashion statement I was looking for.

    Anyhow, I have every confidence in my ability to keep going with the push ups, it really has been easy for me. I just think that I need to pamper my wrist.

    sorry...............
    I REALLY like this challenge and wanted to keep going. I'm sad.
