You can TOTALLY hack the sugar free. It really isn't as bad as you might think. Once you get past the first few days, the rest is easy peasy!

I saw they had the 25 pull up challenge too and for second I was like yeah!!! but then I realized that I probably can't do a single pull up so I nixed that and I'm just sticking with push ups. For now. I just hope I can survive the push up challenge..push ups are HARD!! Good luck to you!! Nice job with the progressive run, SPEEDY last mile!!! :)

You should totally do the challenge!

I'm thinking about doing the sugar free thing too...but just thinking...lol we'll see if i actually sign up. i love me some sugar too girl.

kudos to you on doing the pushups. the swimming i've been doing has helped me get stronger arms but i'm sure a push up or two wouldn't hurt. :)

I hear you on the slow start. I swear the first two miles my legs are confused as to what they are supposed to be doing. Congrats on running it progressively faster. I always try to do that!

Mud runs sound awesome! I am looking forward to doing one. I think it's a good way to keep running fun and interesting.

You should definitely try out her videos, I really haven't found one I don't like yet, but so far the RIT is my fave!

I started the 100 push-up challenge a while back and then fell off the bandwagon because I went on my honeymoon for a week (I think that's an acceptable reason?). Maybe I should give it a go again...

Holy challenges!! I did the 100 pu challenge and ...

Holy challenges!! I did the 100 pu challenge and it is tough but effective!

I am with you on the sugar free challenge so we can keep each in check!!

You're braver than me! I'm too chicken to ...

You're braver than me! I'm too chicken to try a mud run OR a sugar challenge :). I should, though. Good for you!

The mud run sounds so fun! I have always wanted to do one of those.

New challenge I would like to try is p90x. I am thinking after my two marathons this summer I will start. Thanks for sharing your challenges because they are incredibly motivating!

I did a push up challenge on my page last month, and I didn't really do the 100 push up challenge, but my max reps increased quite a bit. This month I'm focusing on pull ups. While doing my *assisted* (for now) pull ups the other day, my 3 year old said, "Mommy, only boys do that! Girls don't do that!" So, now I'm REALLY committed to doing full on pull ups by the end of the month!

Sugar-free challenge sounds like a great idea, perhaps I'll try that one too!

Sugar-free will be a huge challenge because at 4am when I'm at work for a nightshift, I usually want to eat chocolate and other unhealthy sugary stuff...but it will be worth it.

I also envious of anyone who can do pull-ups, that would be quite the feat to do 25. There's a machine at the gym that assists with a pull-up, I'd definitely have to start with that.

Great ideas!

I want to do mud runs and obstacle races once I'm stateside again... they look awesome!

2011-05-18T06:40:59.552-06:00

That's awesome! Great challenges! I haven't done one of those mud runs yet. I did try the push up challenge but never finished. I am making sure I do strength training now instead!!(aka mamarunsbarefoot)

You can do both. I started doing all of them. The push up, dips, sit ups and squat challenge. Just split them up. I do Mon-Wed-Fri Push ups and sit ups. Tue-Thu-Sat Dips & squats. It really only takes about 10 minutes to finish.

I stopped drinking coffee but am REALLY craving it right now :( I'll wait till the end of June to drink some again. I miss my Butter Toffee coffee with tons of sugar and creamer! lol
