do 50 pushups

Weeks one and two of the Hundred Pushups program went well. Today I did 26 in a row. According to the chart, that means I should continue with column three, but I think it is a little unrealistic to think that I can do sets of 25, 17, 17, 15, and 25 pushups within 5 minutes when 26 pushups is the maximum I can do. So I am going to try column two. If I complete that successfully, maybe I’ll repeat this week with column three.

My goal of working up to 50 pushups stalled recently. I can do about 25 at one time. Then I came across a mention of hundredpushups.com on Lifehacker. This program promises to take us from zero to one hundred pushups in 6 weeks. Sounds ambitious, but if it is only half-true, I’ll reach my goal. So today I started Week One. Week One looks fairly easy, so I am doing the third column, the hardest. If anyone else cares to give it a try, let me know how it goes.

... in a row, of course. I have gone from 12 to 19 in recent weeks, but I still have a ways to go.
