115 Burpee Challenge

As if my life wasn't already filled with enough resolutions, goals, and races, I decided to participate in the "115 Burpee Challenge" (Thank you Elissa!).  

What is the 115 Burpee Challenge one may ask?  Well here it is:


June 4th 2012 would be the 115th birthday of the creator of the Burpee, Royal Huddleston Burpee and to honor him I will do 115 days of Burpees starting on Saturday February 11th.  


Day 1 = 1 Burpee
Day 2 = 2 Burpees
Day 3 = 3 Burpees


Etc., Etc., Etc., alllllllllllllll the way up to 115 days, which adds up to 6,670 burpees in just about 4 months. 

That my friends, is a lot of Burpees!  

Why do I keep doing these things?  They are fun, they keep me motivated, and typically you get a pretty sweet t-shirt out of the deal.
