A run home and a new challenge
I ran home after work today. I took the scenic route and did 10.29 km in just over an hour. It was a nice run and the only downside was that I had assumed my in-laws would be home (they live with us) to let me in and they’d gone out. So I was forced to nap in the sun for about 15 minutes until my wife got home from work. It’s a hard life but someone has to do it.
I’ve discovered a new challenge that I’m keen to give a go. J.D. over at Get Fit Slowly is doing the 100 pushups in 6 weeks challenge and is looking for folks to do it with him. I’m going to give it a go!
The 100 pushups site claims that most people should be able to do it but we will have to see. I know hitting the 25 pushups in a row mark gave me a great boost so even hitting 50 would be great.
If you’re serious about increasing your strength, follow this six week training program and you’ll soon be on your way to completing 100 consecutive push ups! Think there’s no way you could do this? I think you can! All you need is a good plan, plenty of discipline and about 30 minutes a week to achieve this goal!
I saw what C25K could do to get me running so I’m willing to give this a go. If you want to know more about it then click the image below:

I love the push up.
ONLY because I can so rarely make it to the gym these days since I roll with the Toddler all the time.
cheering you on and joining in,
M.

It seems unlikely that I will ever do 100 consecutive pushups, but I am up for the challenge, I’m starting next Monday!

Ah, naps! Almost as good as curly fries!
I may try this push-up thing. They’re a great exercise, even if I don’t absolutely love them.

I might give this a go. I got so I could do pushups a while back then stopped so sounds like a good challenge.

Thanks for the link. I can do about 25ish right now so this is a good goal to try for.

Okay, my first thought was “of course I can do 100 pushups in 6 weeks!” Easy, peasy!
Ah, but you mean CONSECUTIVELY? Well, then. I’m so up for this challenge! Thanks for the idea.
And thanks for the comments on my blog! Nice to finally “meet” you!

With the price of petrol going up, maybe we should both run/walk to work and back!
