This week is my second time around doing week 3 of the 100 pushups challenge.
I did my pushups on Wednesday just before going out to play tennis. I pushed through them at a good pace. It wasn’t as tiring as the last time I did them, but it was still hard.
I started out with the set of 16. No problem. two 14s, slightly harder. Twelve was a struggle. The last set of 15 I was able to power through them, and get all the way to 17. That is one better than last week. Small gains, right?
Now I have friday to look forward to - Hopefully I’ll get all the way through this week. If not, back to week 3 again!
After my pushups I went out for an hour and a half of tennis with my neighbor. It was an extremely hot day outside, and I was sweating like crazy. On those hot and humid days don’t forget to stay hydrated! If you don’t you’re in for trouble!

Great job on the pushups. Week three is really getting tough. One thing I’ve done to help is give myself plenty of recovery time between sets. For the last set this could mean waiting a few minutes. I’ve also been more than a day to get to the next days pushups (sometimes a few days). You need to fully recover before you start again. It feels like week three is where you really start tearing up your muscles (for me at least).
