What was I thinking

So I had this great idea.  I watch a lot of baseball during the summer and I thought maybe I should do something instead of just passively watch the game.  I don't know exactly why I thought to do push-ups. I could barely do 10 without passing out. (Now that's an exaggeration because I'm in pretty good shape for a guy about to turn 50) But 10 was difficult. Very difficult in fact.

So here it is, the end of April, and I'm wondering if this is something I can do until October without my arms falling off.  The Twins aren't off to a great start but they do have over 190 hits so far.  That's 1900 push-ups!!  What was I thinking?

So here was (is) my plan.  When I'm watching a Twins game, and they get a hit, I'll drop and do 10 push-ups.  Easy.  It gets difficult when I can't see the game, and then check the box score and see that they had 10 or 12 hits.    Ugh. 

I had a small dilemma last week.  I hurt my back at work and the Twins got 13 hits that day.  That's 130 push-ups.  I just couldn't.  So I postponed them.  The next day they got 10 hits. 100 push-ups.  Monday was an off day so here's where I did my 130 push-ups.  Tuesday they got rained out. Whew!
But they scheduled a double-header on Thursday.  This could be trouble.   Luckily for me, the Twins played like shit on Thursday and only got 8 hits in the 2 games.  80 push-ups.  I can handle that.
You won't believe it, but I can now do 35 push-ups without stopping.  That's a long way from barely 10.

I'm going to have to buy bigger shirts soon.  I'll keep you posted.
