100 pushups
Today is the first day of the second semester, so back to work for me. The web design business is doing pretty well, since I’ve got about 3 clients backed up.
Today will be a quick meet the students and a 4 minute level test to see how many students I can kick out of my class and move them to the advanced class. Real lessons will start from day 2 this week. In other news, my university finally got around to giving us a raise after three years, so morale is much improved.
Finally, I’ve decided to take the 100 pushup challenge. I took the strength test on Friday and I’m in column three (the most difficult). I did my pushups for day one this morning and will work on day 2, come Wednesday.

I just did the test and will start tomorrow. I hope to balance that with running Tuesday, Thursday and once on the weekend.
I was able to keep my focus for 4 weeks in the summer and like the short timeline of six weeks for this program.

I hope you won’t think I am cheating but I have started a steroid program simultaneously with starting the 100 push up program.
Seriously, I have a viral infection and have been given the steroids to deal with the infection.
Was that Barry Bonds’ excuse?
