Summary: 57 push ups (12, 12, 10, 10, 13)
The last one is always the hardest - and it helps to follow instructions.
I’ve just done Day 2 of the 100 Push Ups Challenge and, all I can say is, I’m not so sure how I’ll go on Day 3.
The first two sets (12 each) were easy enough but the next 2 sets of 10 really set the arms a-wobbling. As Andrew (AJH) says, the upper body strength isn’t quiet what it should be - hence the challenge.
But, stung by Andrew’s (is getting fit) comment of only doing the minimum for the last set I demanded more of myself and did 13 (minimum 10). Yes, I know it’s not a whole lot more but, well, it’s more than the minimum.
I’m looking forward to the feeling tomorrow of muscles that have finally had a work out. While they’ll be sore it’s a good feeling in a perverse sort of way
So, Thursday is Week 1, Day 3 and we’re up for 15, 13, 10, 10, 15 at least.
Two more events this week which will be big moments for me:
- Thursday is my first weigh in in 3 weeks. I’m expecting to be lower but only just.
- Saturday I’m going to try to do the 12km City to Surf route which is on August 31 as a trial run. I’ll time it but just want to start and finish it.
I’ll be buggered at the end but at least I’ll know what that feels like.
Full report after recovery!
