<.< It’s getting hella hard now. I keep taking longs periods of rest, attempting the sets, failing, and then adding more rest time until completion. I’m really, really, considering repeating a week to build up strength. If I do so, then the final day to attempt 100 push ups would fall onto the weekend of UC Davis’s move-in day. I dunno, I’ll just see how Week 4 treats me. >.>
In other news, I treat out my family to dinner tonight at Red Robins. Myself, Julie, Doug, Dianna, and Phong. Interestingly, I saw Dustin there with a bunch of his friends, all there to cele brate on of their birthdays. I felt like doing something nice for the guy, so even though I didn’t know his name, I gave him 10 bucks to pay for his burger, haha. I’m not sure why I felt like it, but I did. I guess you never know how karma is going to reciprocate, right?

Oh man, things are getting hard. Between Sets 3 and 4 I gave myself 2 mins of rest, and between 4 and 5 I gave myself 3 mins. However, my first go at the last set got me 13 push ups before I stopped. My arms didn’t give out, I gave up mentally. Of course, I gave myself another 3 mins and 30 secs before going at it again, and I managed 25 then. I’ve just noticed my wrists are starting to hurt. It’s getting harder, and I think motivation-wise, I’m starting to plateau. Alex A missed a day, Alan coudln’t manage both push ups and TKD, and I’m not sure abouth Henry and Bryan’s status.
While I was at first psyched to have reached 33 consecutive, I now only picture myself as really far away from the elusive 100. I don’t know how else to describe it. I guess I’m just losing heart. It just feels like, I’m running really fast on a hampster wheel. At first it felt great to be running, but I’ve just discovered I’ve gotten nowhere. Besides the upper body strength, how am I different from who I was two weeks ago? I don’t feel like it progressed, which was the real point.
I remember driving past Silver Creek High School and seeing the girls tennis team practicing. I thought “Holy sh*t, I’m not a high school student anymore.” At first I was happy for the chance to spread my wings and get away from home, but now I question if I’m ready. Can I survive on my own? My roommate is a person by the name of Harry Gebhardt, and from his Facebook I can gleam that he’s a white football player from a San Francisco high school called Marin Catholic. Can I get along with another person so readily? What if my habits of sleep and etc conflict with his? What if it’s his habits that conflict with me? How good will I be at working out any possible problems that we’ll run into? Oh well. I’m not terrible at playing things by the ear.
Let’s just see how things work out, hahaha.
Me – Complete – 100 total
Henry – Complete – 185 total (He also managed 50 on his week 4 progess test)

Edit @ 1:08 AM – Henry’s been keeping up, I just haven’t been recording. Sweet!

I managed to do 33 consecutive push ups! YAY!!!
Thats more than twice my initial test of 16. Oh man, I can’t believe it. After having so much troule completing the last few sets of Week 2, I didn’t believe I could test into the third column of Week 3. Oh man, I feel awesome, hahaha.
Things are looking up!
Me – 33
Alan – Taekwondo practice and push ups don’t mix. Alan stops taekwondo push ups.
