Day 26 (Day 66) - Reaching New Limits

Still going strong! 66 push ups in one set; less than 2 minutes timed. It is definitely getting more difficult. In 1988, I was in 8th grade and there was a push up challenge. The maximum that I could do then with a lot less weight was 63 push ups. I have passed that mark for the past few days. I did not expect that heading into this challenge. My next goal is to reach the 70 push up mark. In the 37-41 year old group, the military would grade me 93 points out of 100. 73 would equal to 100 points. There is no age chart for my age group. I will try for that 73 mark and most likely start breaking into 2 sets. PS - Still no Starbucks for 26 days...that's also broke a recent memory record.
