So... I finally took some Excedrin migraine about 1/2 hour before I left work today because my head was killing me. I figured while I was feeling a tad bit better...I should go with it. So....after I made dinner and helped Paige with her school project I took to the challenges of the night. I modified the sit ups a bit--I started with sit ups but about 1/4 a way through I switched to crunches. Believe me...I still felt the pain!
Sit Ups :(

max I can do (minimum of 18)---I did 30! Paige was a help with counting...made me go longer!
Push Ups

max I can do (minimum of 12)---I did 12 (they were hurting today)
Squats

11
max I can do (minimum of 16)---I did 25
So...that means I did 87 sit-up/crunches tonight, 62 push-ups, and 76 squats. I am pretty proud of that.
I should mention to that I closed the car door on the top of my foot and it is really sore....and then I fell picking Paige up at her after school program.....so I am even more proud of the numbers I got tonight!
Now onto thinking about tomorrows goal...although I think that I already have an idea of what that is going to be. Til then folks! Happy reading, happy sleeping, and happy squating!

Great job in keeping up with those sit-ups, squats, and push-ups! And glad to see this motivation you have for the 10 miler.
Speaking of those "sit-ups". Are you doing those traditional sit-ups (chest close to knee when you raise up)? I read the site back when James had posted about the program you are doing, and it says they call them "sit-ups", but they want you to actually do crunches. Just wondering because I noticed you differentiated between them in your posts. The traditional ones are bad for your back...one reason I read further into the program you are doing when I saw the word "sit-up". Stick to crunches, if you are doing the former. Your upper back should raise off the ground, but back and neck should be kept pretty straight and raise to maybe 1/2 way floor and top of bent knee.
Keep up the great work! Wish I had you closer, and we could work out together.
Well done on all those squats, crunches, and push ups! It makes me tired just thinking about it!
