Update on Pushups Challenge

I completed the six-week 100 pushups challenge, after repeating week five twice. I just took the final test and was able to do 40 consecutive pushups.

My arms are now huge. My shoulders and abs have improved. Carrying 40-lb bags of salt for the water softener isn't such a terrible thing any more.

But I am a teensy bit disappointed in my final test. I was guessing by week four that 100 was maybe an unrealistic number, but I was hoping to get at least halfway there.

I shall continue. Maybe I will begin again at week four, where all the troubles began.

Trixie is mystified by the pushup pursuit. She watches me gravely from a safe distance, like one might stare helplessly at a loved one relentlessly focused on self-destruction.
