100 Push-up Challenge

For the past few weeks I've been checking in on David Ray's blog See Dad Run. A few days ago I noticed a link in one of his recent posts to the web site www.hundredpushups.com. I've been trying to discipline myself to do some form, any form of upper body exercise for quite a while with virtually no success. So when I saw this challenge I knew it was exactly what I needed to stay motivated. It's a relatively short challenge (perfect for my short attention span) and only needs to be done three days a week. The only other thing it needed was to be difficult enough to make me suffer. There doesn't even have to be some kind of reward at the end. The suffering is my reward. Kinda sick isn't it? I'm sure most of you understand.
Given that it fit my criteria - short duration, it contains the word "challenge", and no reward beyond my suffering - I'm all in.
The first step of the challenge is the test. How many good push-ups can I do in one shot? The quantity you do for the test will determine the level at which you'll do the rest of the challenge. I managed 35. I think I could have done maybe 5 more but I would still begin the 6 week challenge at the same level unless I managed 45 or more. So three days a week I'll do five sets of push-ups with a designated amount of rest between each set. The quantity of each set increases until week six when I'll have to do more than 56 in one shot. If I'm able to achieve each weeks quantities I'll take a few days rest at the end of week six and then take a shot at the 100 push-up goal.
The timing of this is perfect. I'll hopefully be able to complete the challenge about two weeks before Leadville. Even if I can't do 100 push-ups I'll go into Leadville with a more balanced fitness. I need the core and upper body strength this will provide.
Anyone else care to join the fun?
