Word of the day: Commitment

It is one thing to say you are taking part in a challenge and it is another to actually do it.
This whole 100 Miles and 100 Pushups is an "on your honor" challenge. It has a Facebook group and a few non-FB members. And, based on the previous FB group challenge of 100 miles (which also had non-FB members), I would have to say that the people who are taking part are honorable.
I say this because out of 132 Facebook members who joined the 100 mile challenge, 21 posted their completion of 100 (+ in some cases) miles. Afterall it would be easy enough to post fake mileage.
But I have the impression that anyone who takes the time to join this type of challenge is, well, like me - for real.
So today I added another 3 miles having walked with my Dutchies buddies. And after dinner I faced the music (or floor as it were) and completed Day 2 of Week 2 of the pushup program. Yes, I did 74 pushups in around 6 minutes, with rest breaks. 74 pushups! That's almost 3/4 of 100. Okay, so I get breaks. But it is only Week 2 of 6.
I am encouraged. I am committed.
