100 Day Challenge

Started a 100 day challenge 21 Dec - 31 Mar of 50 push-ups daily (among other non-conditioning related things) to work on this goat of mine for the Crossfit Open.

2/1

Have been doing sets of 10 or 20 throughout the day so far and today did 50 push-ups for time to compare with the end of the challenge

WOD:

50 push-ups = 2.05

First 30 were done in 40 sec then hit a big wall! That's why this is a goat!
