How many can you do??

Good rainy morning from VT!

So for the past week (and for the next 4!) I have been living in a little old house in the hills of VT in a town called Plainfield. It is technically for an "externship" for my schooling but it feels a lot more fun than school! This town is truly great, a real small town with a gas station, a couple shops, and a couple restaurants. Everybody knows everybody and they have all been extremely welcoming.

Another great thing about living in Plainfield and having a little more free time than usual is that it is perfect adventure race training grounds. What could be better than being able to train in untamed New England 2 months before Untamed New England?? This past week I have been riding my MTB, hiking, trail running, etc. It has finally all caught up to me and my body is begging for a short break (good timing because the weather is very poor today). So instead of going out into the backwoods and doing some form of endurance training I decided to try a challenged that my brother proposed a couple days ago:

**HOW MAY PUSH-UPS CAN YOU DO IN 3 MINUTES?**

This doesn't seem like it would be too hard at first but believe me, it is no cake walk. I did 90 on my first go and would love to get to 100 by the time I move back to Boston. Lofty goal, I know. Form is crucial and the following article explains it all really well. According to the article, I am in "good shape". I'll take it!
