#104

So, I had all 10,000 burpees accounted for on Friday, December 23rd.  Friends and family all over the US including many kids as well.  If you can't make your kids do 100 burpees, what fun is it being a parent.  Someone posted that they did their 100 in 6:22 - I was impressed and it gave me a time to go after.  I can't have someone beat me on my event!!!  I was  able to do my 100 in 6 minutes flat -love having that push!!!I thought 101 the next day would be awful, but surprisingly it wasn't, neither was 102.  BUT 103 was terrible, I hit a wall - my shoulders were on fire. I did a lot of stretching and shoulder mobility throughout the rest of the day which definitely helped.  Today, they were doing "Annie" at my box - so I incorporated my 104 burpees into it. I started with 4 burpees, then 20 after each set in "Annie".  "Annie" is 50-40-30-20-10 of double unders and sit ups.  My time for that was 15:58, which I was happy with.  Total count 5460!! Don't forget to donate and pass the word along.....mammogramsinaction.org

#96

Yesterday was day #96.  For some reason, more than usual, the 95 burpees the day before seemed incredibly boring so I decided to turn day #96 into a WOD.  I did 6 rounds of - 16 Kettle  Bell swings (30#), 16 burpees and 16 sit ups.  Today I will do 97 and I am looking forward to 100 people doing 100 burpees with me on Friday from all over.   I have a few corporate sponsors willing to make a donation to Mammograms in Action if I get all 10,000 burpees accounted for.

Day #84

total count...3570!!!  I have  a crossfit competition this Sunday - for the first time I am part of a team (2 guys/ 2 girls). I am very excited about it; however, the extra team trainings over the past 2 weeks have made the Burpees a little more difficult but I am getting them done every day and still doing them in one sitting.

Day #70

I just finished my 70 burpees for today.  It's funny how some days don't seem so bad and other days are pure torture.  Today was a good day, I felt good and I did 'em pretty quick.  I also put out a challenge on facebook for December 23rd -which will be day #100 of this burpees challenge.  I am attempting to get 99 other people to commit to doing 100 burpees on that day - lookin' to see 10,000 burpees be done on that day for a great cause.  If you follow this blog but are not on facebook and would like to join his challenge for Dec. 23rd, please let me know!!

#62

Wow - I did my regular crossfit workout this morning at 6am.  The WOD was 3 rounds for time: 300 meter farmer's carry (35# kettlebell) and then 30 burpees.  One of my friends asked before the class if I was gonna use the burpees from the WOD towards my burpees4boobs count.  I told her I hadn't decided and when I was getting ready to start the 3rd round of 30 burpees, I was thinking "hell yeah, I'm counting them". However, once I recovered I decided to keep them separate - at least for now.  When I started this, I said I would not count burpees from my regular WODS (not until I at least get to the point of 100 or more a day) - that being said... I just finished my 62 burpees for the day!!!! total count - 1953!!!!  Breaking 2000 tomorrow :)
