Lent

Couldn't think of anything to give up for Lent, so I thought that I would try the 100 press up challenge

After an initial test of 16, started the first day, today. Managed 45 press ups in 5 sets - well its a start!

So thats 3 days of the week squared away, but not sure what to do with the other 3 - assuming you can have Sunday off. Did think of doing the 200 sit up challenge but I don't think that is what my physio had in mind when I had by hip flexors treated last week!

Of course I would rather be spending 40 days in the wilderness for Lent, but I don't think that my boss would give me the time off.
