    No dog here and I haven't been good about walking*. Need to get back to that and to regular bike rides.

    *working until midnight multiple times a week may play a slight role in that. Being lazy would be the other part.

    That puts me at 2190 with today left. I think I can knock out 10

    I shall post when I comeplete!

    I'm thinking of adding situps to the routine starting tomorrow. Any suggestions on a good number to work toward?
    I started with your challenge April 2 (because I'm no April Fool ) and fairly quickly escalated to 4 sets daily of 10 pushups/situps/scissors kicks and added 320 "flutter" kicks daily (80/set x 4 sets) except for a 5 day vacation mid-April when those numbers were about 50%. However, I've more than made up for the slackitude in the last 7-8 days. Hopefully, this routine is now a habit as I've worked through some shoulder and groin soreness and can comfortably knock out 5-6 sets of each on a daily basis now and hope to continue indefinitely.

    I *think* you could easily add 50-100 situps daily over the next week or two as you're a young, healthy, handsome and fearless fella.

    I have 75 left. I confess that I thought about quitting this week - missed some over the weekend and was thinking oh well just stop. Didn't give in. Still only doing wall push ups but have been trying to move further from the wall so there is more "push up" to it. Since I don't always finish these kind of things, I'm pretty happy with myself. Maybe I'll even get to the point of doing real push ups.

    Also confess to getting caught in the office hallways doing them more than once this month.
    Strong work Dink!

    Well, apparently the next one is to walk/run 100 miles in May. Let me do some research.

    Still April here -- due to snow in a couple of hours -- still putting up the numbers. April here lasts about six weeks.

    I'll cover that one easily, probably in 10 days, maybe less. Bring it.

    Report in the "The Record" appearing in Steamboat Pilot & Today from shortly after midnight Friday:

    Officers were called about a man wearing a black trench coat and doing pushups on the sidewalk outside a business on the corner of 11th St. and Lincoln Avenue. Officers contacted the man and everything was fine.
    Didn't give enough detail to say if he made 2,200.

    If it was shortly after midnight, dude had just realized he missed his deadline and was trying to sneak them in!
