Today is day 30 of my 100 pushup/day challenge. Remember a few posts ago when I pondered trying to do 50 pushups in a row on my last day? Well, at the gym this morning I went for it and BAM, 50 straight! (albeit on my knees, it still counts!)
I don't think there has been too much change in the appearance of my arms (sad face), but I definitely got stronger. I'll take measurements tomorrow or something to see, but it's doubtful. Just wanted to post my 50 pushups victory. Only 36 more to go today until it's DONE.

100 PushUps Challenge
I looked into the 100 PushUp Challenge based on someone's post on MFP. But after taking the initial test and realizing that I can barely do ONE normal pushup, I decided I didn't really care to be able to do 100 "good form" pushups in a row.
Luckily, someone I follow on Tumblr also put up a 100 PushUp Challenge, but in this case, you just complete 100 pushups everyday. So throughout the day, you can break up the pushups into sets of whatever. 4 sets of 25. 5 sets of 20. 10 sets of 10. Whatever. And I can do my "girl" pushups. My arms are abysmal and I feel like they never get any smaller so this should do something...right?
Wish me luck! I plan to start after my weigh-in on Thursday (mostly because I plan to take measurements then so it will be a good start to show progress.

5K Training: Day 73
I don't know what I'm doing anymore. Haha. I'm not really following my running plan as of late; the whole vacation thing really threw me off. I guess I feel accomplished for being able to jog 2 miles at 4.5 mph, but now I'm trying to up my speed as opposed to distance. Finally can say that I am "running" now since I'm going 5 mph. It's kind of frustrating when people say "only 5 mph." DO YOU KNOW HOW FAST THAT IS TO ME? Damn.
Anyways, here's what I did:
1 mile @ 5mph
0.25 mile @ 3mph
0.5 mile @ 5mph
0.59 mile @ 3mph = 2.09 mile/30 minutes
10 lbs:
15 bicep curls
15 right tricep bench extensions
15 left tricep bench extensions
10 anterior raises
15 bicep curls
15 right tricep bench extensions
15 left tricep bench extensions
50 crunches
25 reverse crunches
25 right knee oblique crunches
25 left knee oblique crunches
