100 in 7:48! I assume that you mean minutes....Gee I think that it may take me 7.48 days to do that many...ok, I lied 7.48 weeks The thought of doing burpees took me back to high school. I have had trouble sleeping since.

One thing that has definitely happened to me as I've gotten older is the lowering of my tolerance for mindless pain. I know I'd never get past 30 before I'd say something Patrick won't let me put on this forum, and then I'd stop.

Hey, maybe I can pay my eight-year-old to do the other 70...

Oh yeah.

How have you done so far, Sohan?



Got it under 7 my last try, but it was rough. 6:57.

The body is capable of so much more than we think it is.

With respect,

Sohan

Wow! What is your day job, Sohan? Running a dojo? Mountain climber? Thinly-disguised superhero?

Not surprisingly, I'm a personal trainer, and I do teach karate and kickboxing. But I've been considering a new career in law enforcement at the age of 40. I'd join the military (preferably Marines or Army), but I'm too old to be an officer...and I'd likely either get shipped to Iraq or to the Mexican border...

Thanks, Patusai. Actually, I think I have a lot of room for improvement.

Sohan

Good for you, Sohan. Whatever agency or unit you join will be much better for it.

Sohan, I understand that there is always room for improvement in everyone but...if you improve too much more...I can't even comprehend it beyond that. My hat is off to you!

I just completed 100 in 9:51

Not as good as you , but i'll keep working on it.

hopefully I can move tomorrow, ..this is borderline exhaustion. Good workout though.

I'm only 16 so I should have some time to improve.
