Thank You, Tortoise

I owe that diminutive, struggling-yet-consistent reptile so much. If were not for him and his victory against the evil hare, I wouldn't have a hope of reaching those hundred push-ups. He is my inspiration. Hang in there little buddy! I'm chugging along. I'm the little engine that could! How bad is it, you ask? I am making progress, just slowly. Here is my (ahem) progress thus far:

1-15-07
15 + 15 (I did it wrong this day though, because I gave myself several hours between sets)

1-17-07
15+15+15+15 (Much shorter rests, but still a little too long, five minutes or so)

1-19-07
15+15+15+15 (This time with rests of no more than three minutes a piece, as with my sets from here on out)

1-22-07
20+20+19+14 (+6 girl push-ups (trust me, when your muscles are done for, even girl push-ups are tough))

1-24-07
20+20+16 (+4 girl push-ups to hit twenty) + 7 (+ 6 girl push-ups)

1-27-07
20+20+20+9 (+2 girl push-ups)

I am sticking to a schedule of push-ups on MWF, but I think that I am going to start doing different push-ups on T-Th-Sunday that will work different muscles. We'll see how that works, I know that my T-Th-Sunday push-ups will be quite a bit more difficult, so I'm not going to be able do that many. You've been forewarned, so next post, when I only have sets of ten (or somewhere around there,) you can know that it is because I am doing more difficult push-ups.


We had a pretty big ice storm, so I snapped a few pictures. I had a difficult time setting up shots I liked. It was more difficult than I thought it would be. I have much to learn.


I took this picture from my bedroom window, not a bad sight to wake up to, huh?


We have these berry bushes around campus, its about the only color we get for half the year.
