    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.

    Week 4, day 3: 23+28+23+23+36 = 133

    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.

    I forgot....

    I forgot to do my PUPS this week....

    One might ask oneself how exactly do you forget??? I'm not sure really... I somehow got busy and didn't think about it until Wed. night....At this point in the week it didn't seem like a good idea to start b/c I would end up doing too much, too close together. Anyways, now my lower back is really hurting (it's Friday night).

    So, I'll have to start week 4 next week. Oopsies

    and the last 2 sets from group 2.

    All this after riding almost 25 miles of singletrack. Shall I withhold her beer allotment tonight?

    I repeated Week 3 this week. Day 3 = 22+30+20+20+30=122. That's only 2 more than last week, but I can at least still move my arms this week, so some small improvement. I'll move on to Week 4 next week, but I'm not sure which column. These big weekly jumps in minimum pups are killers.
