100 pushups: first setback

[pegkerr]

I did my end of Week 4 exhaustion test and only managed 21. I have to manage at least 31 to go on to Week 5, so I guess that means I'm repeating Week 4.

Alternities will do that to you. :-)

BTW, I am picking the 'rents up at the ship terminal at 8am, so I will be shoving breakfast into them when we normally talk.

Don't feel bad. I still haven't. Ompleted week one. A pulled muscle in my neck set me back this time! Hope to get back to it next week.

That still leaves you two weeks ahead of me - now, and for the foreseeable future, as well.

That's 21 more than I can manage, and I'm 21 years old. I'm really impressed! :D

I still have to do my week 4 exhaustion test, but have been struggling with getting to 25, so I might just join you in another week of week 5.

Even if I could do 31 I'm not sure I'd want to move on to week 5 just yet... week 4 was HARD!

I'll be repeating Week 5; I did 36, with great difficulty, and the minimum is 40-something.

How do you time your exhaustion tests? I end up doing them the day after "Day 3" in order to still leave a gap day before starting the next Day 1 again, but I always feel then I'm shortchanging myself by not having a proper rest day in between. I don't know if I might have tested differently, had I waited until tomorrow (which is a running day, but would have at least had less demand on my arms - I made mayo this evening, too).

If I finish Day 3 Friday morning, then I do the exhaustion test Saturday night, and start the next week Monday morning. Gives myself 36 hours rest each time. That seems to work for me.
