OrangeJorwell Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Ugh...I did half of today's this morning and then took a rest and felt a sharp pain in one of my little toes. I looked down and it was bleeding around the nail. Since I've been doing them all barefoot, I'm going to take the day off and try again tomorrow while wearing shoes and see if that helps.

Odyssey Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Did 100 today because I figured being 1/4 of the way there called for some kind of celebration. Feels good man.

Siferiax Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Dropping this challenge. It's been interfering with what I really want to focus on. So I need to set priorities and stop this challenge.Still plan on making it to 5050 burpees... just not in the spirit of this challenge.

Well good luck on whatever it is that you're focusing on. Maybe you can join us next time for the inverted burpee challenge. I did 38 yesterday at CrossFit as one leg of an AMRAP, which helped, and taught me that I can indeed do burpees with shoes on, so I have no excuse not to do them now.

Relic Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 I'm back! My back issue fixed itself with some extra hydration, a little rest, some good massage work with my trusty baseball, and a few showers where finished with cold water over my back (ack! that's a mouthful of a recovery tool). Tonight I did 17,19,20,and 21 to begin my ascent out of deficit land.

BlackWidowEowyn Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 I am still in but getting far behind... I hurt my back the other day and so have not been able to do my daily burpees... but I will make it up... soon It's still under 200 for me to catch up and since I did 700 one time.. I think I can do it. But I must wait until the muscles in my back quit spazzing out everytime i try one BlackWidowEowynLvl 6 Hobbit Assassin"Obstacles can't stop you, problems can't stop you.

TerraNik Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Look after yourself BWE!! It's all about consistency, but if you're hurting yourself it's not worth it. For some bizarre reason I am finding them easier all of a sudden... Day 45 today. Maybe I've just gotten through that mental block and just get it done. Plus I train with like-minded nutters - two of whom spontaneously decided to join me because it apparently looked like fun! So it's nice having company and a good challenge - we race!

ellisd012 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Nice job catching up BlackWidowEowyn!Keep at it Phylanx!It is tough to work on getting caught up. I got behind due to a sore shoulder which I rested for several days. Now I owe 285 total plus today! At least we are past the halfway point and they do seem to be getting a bit easier...at least I can do larger sets.

BlackWidowEowyn Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I was just wondering who else is still in this glad I'm not the only crazy one I decided to make it part of my 6 week challenge with the goal of learning to do things i don't like NOW instead of putting them off until they seem impossible.

ellisd012 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I'm out...my shoulder just keeps bugging me. I will take a couple of days off and feel OK, then catch up and wake up sore again. I rested it for 4 days, then burpees for 2 and it was the same, so I think I should bow out Good luck to the rest of you burpee-lovers! Keep at it!

I-Jo Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I'm a die hard lurker- but I love this idea- I'm starting it up March 1st. Hoping to get some other folks involved for a fun competition. great idea.... I know I'm not going to be up with all of you- but meh- I don't care- still want to do it on my own. Link to comment
Relic Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 @ ellisd012 - when your shoulder feels up to it you should do some sort of pulling exercise. You may have created an imbalance with the high volume of pushing. Great effort staying with it for so long and good luck on the shoulder rehab.I was just wondering who else is still in this glad I'm not the only crazy one I decided to make it part of my 6 week challenge with the goal of learning to do things i don't like NOW instead of putting them off until they seem impossible. THe higher the numbers go the harder it is to catch up, but it's not hard to stay on top once you are thereIt looks like it's just us two for now (with I-Jo joining us soon). My goal is to catch up by the end of next week instead of trying to catch up in two days (again) and burning out (burpee-ing out?) only to get behind again.@ I-Jo : welcome! if your still plugging away when I'm done I'll keep doing 100/day to keep you company.

I-Jo Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Thanks! I'm excited. I love doing new challenges (diet and fitness alike). I talked my coworker into doing something like 50 pushups every 3 hours every day at work (as best as possible- sometimes we have meetings and things and it's really not practical and I'm REALLY good at squeezing push ups in somewhere!) I'm only waiting till March instead of starting now because I felt the concrete DAY 1 factor would help in calender calculating. LOL (I'll admit- I'm lazy). I've tried to recruit some folks via FB- but no one seems to want to play. I've done 100 before all in one shoot as part of a workout (well- rotations of 10's but 100 total) and it's an ass kicker for sure but I say what the hey why not! I do them on the regular anyway so I'm looking forward to this. Good excuse to do burpees where ever I go! what day are you all on at this point? oh- and to clarify- if they are part of the workout- it counts too right? go burpee challenge!!! Link to comment
