Today was a new high for total in a day...probably not a high in my life as I believe I recall doing an absurd amount one day after a poor round of golf back when that mattered a bit more to me than it reasonably should have.   Speaking of punishment, I ran for 53 minutes after the above, a new 2015 longest run for me.

Cumulative total:   7800 push ups

PUSH UP DAY 90

25 Push ups

• Streak extender

Also ran for 27 minutes making this, I believe the 5th or 6th week in a row having run at least 3 times a week...if I run tomorrow it'll be 3 weeks in a row running 4 times each week.

PUSH UP DAY 89

25 Push ups

• Streak extender

Cumulative total:   7444       The number 4 when said in Mandarin Chinese rhymes with the word death when that word is said in Mandarin Chinese.   As a result the #4 is considered unlucky and or taboo in that culture.  

PUSH UP DAY 88

245 Push ups

• 8 Sets
• 40 standard then sixty seconds rest
• 50 then sixty seconds rest
• 25 sixty seconds rest
• 25 three hundred thirty seconds rest
• 55 as fast as possible...probably to the detriment of form, sixty seconds rest
• 15 on fists as punishment for poor form -- then perhaps 20 minutes rest
• 10 dynamic (meaning a standard push up into a stand up jump), then a few minutes rest
• 25 standard

Cumulative total:    7419 -- this seems like a tremendous volume of push ups to me.   I feel I should be better than I am after that many, though I am pleased enough with progress for now.   10,000 seems like a point at which I should maybe be a master of them, based on the 10,000 hour theory populated by Malcolm Gladwell...or maybe I need to do 10,000 HOURS of push ups, which will take a long long time.
