Oh I bet it's killing you.
Did I accomplish the 10,000 seconds of planks and 1,000 burpees in a month's time?
I fucking owned it! I've managed 10,000 seconds of planks, that's 2 hours and 20 minutes.
I've managed 1,000 burpees, and not a burpee more.
I feel pretty successful and proud. I also feel extremely sore. My shoulders, all of my core, heck even my joints, feel achy. I have definitely been popping fish oil capsules the past few weeks. There were many times I didn't think I could pull this off. There were days I slacked and paid for it dearly the following days. If I slacked one day, I had to make up the missing reps the next few days or I would have really slipped up. I couldn't give up! Not when I had thrown myself out there for all to see! But I did it, it feels great!
What I have learned this past month:
I can do it!
I may have better time management skills than I have previously thought of myself possessing.
The challenge is entirely mental. (Like boot camp right? Speaking if you are in some semblance of physical shape)
Doing a 10,000 challenge during a month with finals...may not have been the smartest idea, but doing burpees and planks helped me stay awake during the all nighters.
I still fucking hate burpees with a fiery passion and I hope to never do one again for a long long time.
I'm definitely looking forward, I say that now, for the next challenge!
Are any of you planning challenge months? DO IT!
