It's hard to believe that 11 years ago I could do more push-ups than my sister! I was a dancer and cheerleader and actually had some muscles. My gymnastics coach would make us do handstand push-ups and wide arm pull-ups on the uneven bars. When I did Junior Miss we did them on stage while smiling at the audience.
And then...I went to college. I broke my elbow. I stopped dancing. I stopped cheering. And I stopped any kind of activity that required upper body strength. (And my sister joined the Army, went to boot camp, and can now kick my butt!)
I always whine about my puny stick arms. So when I made my 30 Before 30 list I decided to add the 100 Push-up Challenge. And I'm starting today. It might take a few months. I might even have to do some girl push-ups first. But I am going to do this. How hard can it be? (Don't answer that!)
Who else is in?
(PS-I do promise to post about the marathon with pictures sometime soon.)
