Week 3b, Day 2

75 pushups in the first 4 levels, then "at least 25" on level 5. I did 35. That's a total of 110 pushups! All I could do at one time, 4 weeks ago, was 28 pushups.

I know most of us start at different levels. Some of you might have started off barely being able to do 5 "alternative" pushups, and there are those of you who started off being able to crank out 150 with one arm.

Personally, I was rather skeptical about the progress I could make in 6 weeks. To be honest, I think this is going to take me a lot more than 6 weeks to do 100 consecutive pushups. Some of these upcoming weeks look very ... "challenging". But that's just the thing, it is a challenge, and I'm taking it one step at a time. Without a doubt, I wouldn't have been able to do what I'm doing now, three weeks ago. No way, no how.

For me, it's about progress, accomplishment, personal gain, and persistence. I'm going to stick with it. Just like me recent climb up to the top of Half Dome: I had some doubts, and seriously didn't know if I had it in me. It took mental toughness and persistence. I did have it in me, but it wasn't has easy as I would have liked it to have been. In the end I did make it and what a sense of accomplishment I felt! I took longer than the other guys, but never gave up. It was worth it.

Keep on pushin'!!!
