No, not really! :D I was tempted myself of doing that, but then I thought "wait, what if they're not as fun as they look?"

 

That's how I'm feeling about today's dare. 400 overhead punches.....

Is it just me or is does 400 seem like a high number? Hahah jeeeeez.  Did today's 400 punches, no EC.

 

Total points: 5

 

It didn't seem to bad.... 400 overhead punches they said.... do it in one shot they said.... I've got about 200 in so far, other half of mine tonight after work.

I shouldn't have waited until after my karate class to try to do these - my puny arms were screaming. 200 more to go before bed...

[update]

2nd set done.

400 overhead punches, done and dusted.

 

It kinda hurt...

 

No extra credit. I got through 225 before having to take a five minute rest, then did the rest, although that was tough going. Glad I decided to do this before my workout rather than after!

You guys motivated me! Did it in 2 sets. 2 sets of agony, but 2 sets nonetheless! And I had a dance party in the middle.

This is awesome!  I'm in (but starting late...)

 

and I suppose Silver is reasonable,  unless I'm allowed to double up and do some of the earlier ones...?

Hi, welcome!! You can only do them on the day they're posted, but you can get extra point for each extra credit you do, so hitting gold requires some extra credit. :) The points are designed so you can totally achieve them even if you didn't join us in week 0.

Geez, then I suppose I'm debating the stretch goal to Gold.  26 days, max 52 points... To push or not to push...

 

 

Edit:  Decided - set thrusters to Gold.

That was deceptively tough... but EC for me!  

 

Of course, I have to go to my karate class tonight, so hopefully I have some punches left in me...

Well that was a lot tougher than it looked. Punches done with EC at quarter to midnight my time.

 

May be on this sofa for a little while...

Don't say "I don't have enough time", say instead "that's not a priority right now" and see how that makes you feel.
