6½ Years Of Daily Pushups :

11/14/22 ~530pm
With those sets I just completed 6½ years of daily pushups.

Last night I realized I hadn’t done one of these every six months of daily pushup posts for a couple of intervals, almost started to write this while expecting to post, then realized it was a day early.

I type while eating immediately after the two, thus far, sets on the day.

(I’d say 8+ sets, 300+ reps by the time I’ve continued to write at 815pm)

It’s cool to say I’ve done pushups every day since late June/early July of 2012 with only one (possible) missed day.

Even more sweat to be able to say it’s been a decade or longer unbroken.

6½ in, 3½ more to say it.

Active Streak :
May 14, 2016 – Present

I’m still going.

I’ve long wanted to make a video of weighted pushups with a good looking college chick standing on my upper back.

My uncle and I were discussing a possible western road trip a few days back – I’d like to make that same video on four corners.

…..

Dude, I pray you’re out there in cali, doing well, still doing your pushups.

I realize we haven’t seen each other since summer 2012, nor spoke since late 2014.

I still think of you and yours – I wish you all well.

I’ve got my pushups.
I hope you have yours.

In Your Dad’s Memory :

It was really cool that night when we were about 7, 8 years old and your dad did the “family pushups” almost everybody laying on his back.

I still remember his circuit, 30 or so pushups, 30 or so crunches, 30 or so calf raises, 30 or so seconds of shadow boxing, a bunch of times through.

It seemed to me he did it every afternoon.

I know he alternatively swam or jogged before work each morning.

This all stuck with me over the years.

He was a real good influence, both for what to do, and for what not to do, for health and fitness.
