Unacceptable

    I fail. First off, you'll notice I didn't post a workout for Wednesday. The main reason, I didn't really complete it. I was in Texas on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Tuesday night I did my leg work out, and had Erik do it as well. His legs were sore afterwards. Wednesday night, by the time it came to when I was about to do my workout, it was 1am. At the time I was doing them I had a headache. After 70 push-ups (a 40 set then a 30), the increased blood circulation made it far worse. The combined lateness (and therefore tiredness) plus headache, I just couldn't keep going. The following morning I did 30 push-ups right after waking up, but I suppose I just didn't have any energy since no food yet at that point. I came home Thursday and ended up working out with a karate school close to the house. I did 50 push-ups and 100 crunches there. It kicked my butt since all I had been doing was muscle workout and not endurance workout. Non-stop for an hour, my body didn't approve.

    Tonight, I only managed to do 50 push-ups in 1 minute without stopping. Unacceptable. I have made a decision, enough with slacking off every other day. 100 push-ups and 100 crunches every morning and night of every day. I am now fighting the clock. Higher reps, fewer rests between. 10 days until the 22nd, there should be 2000 push-ups between then and now. That also means that I have another 100 to do before the end of the night. Here's what I did tonight, so far:

Friday 8/12 1st
50 push-ups
20 push-ups (not typo, rested 30 sec then 20 more)
50 crunches
15 push-ups
50 crunches
15 push-ups

Summary
10 minutes
100 push-ups (10/min)
100 crunches (10/min)

    I'll let my arms rest for a little while, then 100 more push-ups. Saving this post in "draft" mode and will add how long on the 2nd attempt, as well as more things. [9:26 pm]

Friday 8/12 2nd
30 push-ups/crunches
20 push-ups/crunches
10 push-ups/crunches
10 push-ups/crunches
10 push-ups/crunches
10 push-ups/crunches
10 push-ups/crunches

Summary:
10 min 48 sec
100 push-ups (9.26/min)
100 crunches (9.26/min)

    After I stopped the timer, I did an additional 10 push-ups, then after I had drunk 3 glasses of water and several portions of almonds I did another 10, so for the day I did 220 push-ups. Those last 50 push-ups are some of the hardest I've done yet, so hopefully I'll get some muscle growth from it. Right now the time includes crunches, I might stop doing that, but not until I get higher reps, I think.

    Use Quicktime to view the following of Erik sitting on a saddle and waving a napkin around in the air! Ride 'em cowboy! That's one of the things I did while down in Texas. The other was play pool with Kane and Emily as well as watch Dukes of Hazard. I also got to spend some time with my nephews, which was fun.

    That's all, until next time...

    TUMEO.
