Answering faithful reader JEC's question regarding total number of push ups completed in various airports since start of my push up streak, here are those standings as of mid-Dec. 2015:

• 533 Total
• OMA    15
• HOU     25
• MOB     65
• IAH       140
• DFW     25
• EWR     79
• CLT       109
• ROC      25
• ORD      25
• ATL       25

In addition to the above I have also completed 1 set of 25 in Penn Station, so my public transportation total is 558 and counting.

The above airport totals seem easily surpassed by anyone wishing to do so...this is oddly concerning as I thought I was on my way to being special for this at least.   The issue is that I can't do more than about 30 push ups before sweating and I generally don't wish to break a sweat just before boarding a flight....if I have a significant layover I can do multiple sets spread by cool down time, but I try to schedule such that I don't have too much lay over time.   Hmmm, perhaps persistence over a lifetime will win the day?   That and taking advantage of the opportunities as they arise -- I feel confident that if I traveled as often as I did with my former job that I would have a much more impressive total, but I am quite glad I no longer do.

Note:   Becca thinks my practices are gross and she also refuses to be near me for fear of attention, but really most people just quickly register and move on.   One guy in Charlotte did jokingly ask "is that all?" after I finished my set, to which I stated factually "for now."

PUSH UP DAYS 278-281

330 Push ups

• Thurs.  Streak extender
• Fri.        205:   Sets of 30 (one was 35) on the Brays Bayou Hike and Bike trail in Houston, TX.  Some exercise equipment on the trail near corner of Braeswood Blvd. and Buffalo Speedway allowed me to also do pull ups, which was nice -- specifically the pull up bars were immediately West of Lookout Ct. half a mile West of Buffalo Speedway on Brays Bayou Hike and Bike trail, in case any of my many readers has ever been there?--south of the water) plus additional sets of 25 on IAH airport grounds and Atlanta Hartsfield Airport grounds...I say "grounds" because each time these push ups were completed inside the air walk immediately before boarding planes departing each.
