1,000 Pushups Today!

Tuesday, April 21. 2009

Today, I pledged that I would do 1,000 pushups. A few people have asked why? Of course, I responded with, “why not?”

I’ll have to admit, I became inspired to do this by a little girl in my son's kindergarten class. Yesterday, I was volunteering in his class and I noticed this girl would quietly get out of her chair and do 10 pushups. She did this about every 2 minutes at every single station. She didn’t do it for attention nor did she disrupt anyone at the same time.

I asked her why she was doing them, of course shy as all get out, she just shrugged her shoulders. I thought to myself after that, “what an opportunity to challenge my self discipline.” Besides, if a kindergartener can do it, I can too!

So here my little self discipline project…

1,000 pushups in 12 hours. I remembered an old statement, “How do you eat an elephant?” Answer- “One bite at a time.” So, my plan is to do 50 pushups every 30 minutes. Now that I’m halfway through the day, I can see that I set my sights a little too low. It’s funny how daunting tasks suddenly become small once you decide to take them on!

Stay tuned for when I do a more challenging project... 2,000 in a day!

Respectfully,

Master Richardson
