100 Push Ups: W1D1

Good afternoon/evening!


Today was W1D1 of 100 Push Ups. I'm doing this program in conjunction with Couch to 5k and I just rotate days. 


I'm doing 100 Push Ups because I've never really been very good at them, and I think it would be really cool to be able to do 100 push ups at once. You can do the initial test and "test out" of a couple weeks, but I wanted to start at W1D1 to stay on track with C25k. Plus I'm anal and I want to start at the beginning otherwise I won't feel like I completed it. 


So W1D1 was 2, 3, 2, 2, 3 for a total of 12 push ups with 60 second break between each set. Not really that many (or that challenging) but I know it will get harder! I usually only took 30 second breaks, but I'm sure at some point I will really want the whole 60 seconds. 



Here's the interface of the Hundred Pushups app by SoftwareX on my iPhone. It's pretty sleek and counts everything for you and automatically syncs with the log I have on my computer at Push Up Logger. That's what we call "schnazzy," people. 

I'm definitely a little sore today from C25k yesterday. The soreness isn't in my legs/calves like I thought it would be though. It's pretty much housed in my shoulders and arms (made push ups kinda fun). 

I'm pretty restless right now, and really not wanting to be on the computer anymore. I'm going to either go to Target or walk to the park (or both). It's a beautiful evening in Fargo and I really feel like avoiding my homework!

Tomorrow is W1D2 of my C25k program! Thanks for reading!
