I am having too much fun here. I started with the “Andy” and it has taken off. Each week I have been giving a challenge to my Dailymile.com friends. It is an open invitation so they can invite their friends. I usually try to have the challenge relate to a specific runner, and the goals are reasonable for most runners to complete. The response has been great, each challenge has had over 100 participants. Other challenges average under 10. Here is last weeks challenge, the Honest Abe.
Believeintherun.com exclusive!!! Sneak peak at this weeks challenge: This challenge is based on one of the runners I have known the longest on dailymile.com, Steve Speirs. Steve created the 100 Push-Ups, 200 Sit-Ups, 200 Squats programs. His book 100 Push Ups is available on Amazon.com. I have been using the iPhone App version of all the workouts and I love them. Warning they are tough! Learn more about Steve at his website Run Bulldog Run.
Here is the challenge Steve created for this week: 1 mile run, 10 push-ups, 1 mile run, 20 squats, 1 mile run, 30 crunches, 1 mile run – OR -a 4 mile run followed/preceded by the 10 push-ups, 20 squats, 30 crunches! I will be publishing the challenge on Dailymile.com tomorrow afternoon.

Love the challenge! Looking forward to kicking my ass doing it. 🙂
I plan on starting 100 pushups, 200 sit-ups and 200 squats in February…maybe I can incorporate this challenge into my initial tests for each of the programs.
Hmm….
Great idea Steve. I think you will enjoy the programs. I am starting to notice a difference from doing the workouts.
This will force me to get back to the pushups – awesome!
