Today was Week 3 Day 2 (I think I thought it was W3D3).
It must have been the worst effort ever in the history of the 100 Push Up Challenge! 
(yes, folks, the history!)
I have to admit the thought of an extra 20 Push Ups in this series was a little daunting. Today’s program called for 20, 25, 15, 15 and then a minimum of 25.
Well, bugger that! I got through the 20 and 25. But then…
The first set of 15 was 10 then 1,1,1,1,1!
The second set of 15 went 8 … no, that’s it … 8!
Gotta laugh! Didn’t even get to the final set of 25!
Do over … again!
6.5k run tomorrow morning. Looking forward to THAT!
In other news, the diet is going well. Lots of fresh veggies (thank you Mother-in-Law!) and back to preparing good food for work rather than going to the lunch bar!

I know how you feel, Bill. I usually feel good through the first two sets, but struggle thereafter.
I have found waiting a bit longer between sets helps a lot. I know it is not exactly what the plan says, but try a 3 minute break before the fourth set and maybe 4 or 5 minutes before the last set. You may still wish to repeat the day after doing this, but I think you’ll have a better chance of getting it on attempt number two (or three or four) if you do the numbers with longer breaks.
Keep it up. Push through. Puns intended!
Hey Matt, love the puns! Keep ‘em coming. Yeah, I can rest more and will when I do the set again. I kept really strictly to the regime this time. I’ll see how I go in tow (or 3) day’s time.
I find it really hard to keep churning them out but it does pay off.
