Wow. 
Just Wow. You are all so impressive! There are folks who are starting from scratch and making noticeable gains every day. There are people who keep at it, day in, and day out. And then, there are people like Patrick and Hally, who are leading the way to a donation to the Flat-Coated Retriever Foundation. These two are leading both the Week 2 standings and the overall counts. Please give 'em a hand. <a href="http://members.shaw.ca/arfenarf/running/PushupChallenge.htm" target="_blank">http://members.shaw.ca/arfenarf/runn...pChallenge.htm</a> 
This is our last week, everyone! Keep up the good work! <img alt="" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/44/106440414_3aab5d1b0e_m_d.jpg" style="border:0px solid;"> <img alt="" src="http://flickr.com/photos/gundog247/106440414/" style="border:0px solid;">

Aaaw, Skip... and you were on a roll! 
I must apologise to poor Fortunate One, whose very fine pushups and pullups last week were missed. Thank you for Formatting for the Boneheaded this week. 
I'm trying to decide whether to give it just one more go and see whether my shoulder will allow me to overtake the woman who has been on vacation for the last two weeks of the challenge. Nothing like setting your targets strategically low. <a href="http://members.shaw.ca/arfenarf/running/PushupChallenge.htm" target="_blank">Updated</a>.

Another <a href="http://members.shaw.ca/arfenarf/running/PushupChallenge.htm" target="_blank">update</a> for everyone. And another gratuitous Flatcoat picture. 
Closing days! Millbot is creeping ahead of The Duck! Pectorals everywhere are getting stronger! <img alt="" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2042/2231904522_1ee90c4f66.jpg" style="border:0px solid;">

Aija has burst to the front of the Wimmin with an astounding workout that would leave ordinary mortals quivering like Jell-o. (I arbitrarily adjusted for the counterweight. Not like it mattered anyway) Aija, we'd like a report on your ability to lift your arms above shoulder height this afternoon, please. Patrick continues to dominate the men's standings, but there's a very interesting situation setting up amongst the mid-packers. 
Consistency has been the key - those who get out and do a little bit for their body every day have really risen to the top. Special kudos today to Robin, who is systematically increasing her load every few days. Yay! CAJ, let's have a few more plank-ers from you, dahlink. 
An FCR named JR who is famous for his rumpled good looks: <img alt="" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/16/21265770_719057178d_m.jpg" style="border:0px solid;"> "What?!?"

I am merely the recorder. Hally, Aija: I commend to you this task - please negotiate an acceptable score for the assisted part of the w/o via PM (or public brawling if you'd prefer) and I'll write the number down. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

Updated, everyone! Place your bets! Do those last-minute pushups! This challenge closes midnight Sunday, and will have its final tally Monday AM!
