Today begins the next week in my journey to doing 100 push ups at one time, thanks to the fine folks over at hundredpushups.com. It appears that this week follows the same format as Week 1, which means I got 60 seconds of rest between each set. Unfortunately, the number of push ups increases, which stinks. Anyway, my numbers:
12-12-9-7-[25] for a total of 65 push ups.
I was kind of frustrated that my last “push ups into oblivion” set total was lower than last week (by 5) until I realized that I actually did one more total push up than last week. I also gave myself a break since I had just finished my first run of Week 6 in the One Hour Runner program and had my fastest run to date – 3.3 miles in 30 minutes for a 8:59/mile pace. That may have affected my push up totals, but I can live with it. I just broke the 9 minute per mile barrier!
