I'm also just a couple hundred (less than a week) away from having done 50,000 push-ups since beginning this journey in September 2008 - see spreadsheet.

I looked back at the post where I had done the 100 push-ups in one shot, and how I had it in mind to try to repeat this feat once a week, well that hasn't happened, but many days now I just do 2 sets of 50 push-ups less than 5 minutes apart.  Its great that I've gotten that far along that I can manage this without straining myself too hard.  And it gets done quicker!

Thanks everyone for the support along the way.  Only 65 days now to make it a full year, and then why stop there?  How far do you think I can go? ]]> http://philrandolph.com/philrandolph/philrandolph.nsf/dxcomments/08262010064909AMHOSFVA.htm http://philrandolph.com/philrandolph/philrandolph.nsf/dx/08262010064909AMHOSFVA.htm?opendocument&comments 14th Anniversary Tue, 17 Aug 2010 08:00:00 -0500

The announcement tweet

Now that I know I can do it, I want to make sure I can maintain the ability to do it, so I'm going to set a goal to do this at least once a week from Day 200 to Day 300 (assuming I keep the streak alive).

Thanks again for everyone's support along the way during this endeavor, and special thanks to those who challenged me to go for the full goal! ]]> http://philrandolph.com/philrandolph/philrandolph.nsf/dxcomments/05192010073900AMHOSGUF.htm http://philrandolph.com/philrandolph/philrandolph.nsf/dx/05192010073900AMHOSGUF.htm?opendocument&comments 200!

Here's the Google spreadsheet I've been maintaining to keep my workout numbers and see how far they accumulate.  I'm oh so close to the 40,000 pushup plateau!

In response to my tweet I received an @reply last night asking "how many consecutive pushups can you do now?"

Honestly, I still don't know for sure, but I might take this question as a challenge to find out sooner than later.  May even give it a try tonight! ]]> http://philrandolph.com/philrandolph/philrandolph.nsf/dxcomments/05182010081031AMHOSHG5.htm http://philrandolph.com/philrandolph/philrandolph.nsf/dx/05182010081031AMHOSHG5.htm?opendocument&comments What would you say it is?

For this being their first year at the Squirt level, and all of them being birth-year 2000 players except for our goalie, I think they did a remarkable job playing in the A2 Squirt Division and compiling a record of 10 wins, 3 losses and 3 ties.

They were able to beat the previously 'undefeated in the division' team which ended up going 15-1 in the division in a 2-1 decision.  They ended up as the 2nd seed going into the playoffs and won against the 3rd seed (of all '99 birth-year players) to make it to the finals.  They met up with the 15-1 team (also a mix of '99 and '00 birth-years) in the finals and while they didn't win the game and playoff banner (lost 3-1), it wasn't for lack of trying.

They won a tournament (which I wasn't able to be at because of Lotusphere 2010) in Pittsburgh in January, and they did well at 2 others ones.  Now that we are past the regular season and the playoffs, they still have one more post-season tournament this coming weekend fairly close by in Mentor (so we don't need to stay out of town - which is nice!)  Hoping that they do well at this one too, to put an extra exclamation point on this great season.

Nice thing about birth-year teams is that a lot of the time, they play together as a group and with the same coaches for several years in a row, and I think that's what will be happening with us.  The cohesiveness they've built this year should be able to carry on to next season when they will be the 'older' birth-year players at the Squirt level.

Congrats again for a great season Strongsville Mustangs Squirt 00-1 Team! ]]> http://philrandolph.com/philrandolph/philrandolph.nsf/dxcomments/03112010094440AMHOSLGG.htm http://philrandolph.com/philrandolph/philrandolph.nsf/dx/03112010094440AMHOSLGG.htm?opendocument&comments A Treasure Trove of info in The XCast, Episode 2 Wed, 3 Mar 2010 08:23:00 -0500 Episode 2 of the XCast Podcast ... ]]> http://philrandolph.com/philrandolph/philrandolph.nsf/dx/03032010072322AMHOSHQ6.htm Xpages Phil Randolph http://philrandolph.com/philrandolph/philrandolph.nsf/dx/03032010072322AMHOSHQ6.htm?opendocument&comments http://philrandolph.com/philrandolph/philrandolph.nsf/dx/03032010072322AMHOSHQ6.htm Episode 2 of the XCast Podcast by Tim Clark and Stephan Wissel while on the way to work on the bus this morning.  This episode was a veritable treasure trove of content to get new XPages developers started. 

The guys linked to many different resources (some of which I've already captured in my XPages Resources post) in the show notes for the episode, and I fully intend to follow each and every link to delve further into the wisdom of those who have gone before me in this crazy thing called XPages development.

Great job guys!

Several of you have given me some more XPages Development resource ideas, so I'll post them here, but will also go back and update my original post. 

I hope to keep doing this over time as I discover more on my own and you tell me about more.  I hope this is useful to many of you out there now, and to others who may see it in the future when starting their own work in this area.

I've now gone over 100 days in a row doing 100 push-ups per day.  Last time I mentioned it here, I'd just finished a month of the streak, but now it's gone over 3 months!  I'm at 104 days now (after the last set of 30 I'll do in a second when I finish this post). 

How's it been going?  Well, it's not always easy to fit it in, but it does fit in a lot better than it ever did when it was 200+ every couple of days, I'll tell you that!  I recover fairly quickly from the brief exertion and I do feel fairly energized when I get done, as long as I haven't left it for too late in the day, or if I've been doing a lot of work with my arms or legs during the day.

Thanks to everyone for the encouragement so far! 

Next goal - 200 consecutive days! ]]> http://philrandolph.com/philrandolph/philrandolph.nsf/dxcomments/02102010075038PMHOS477.htm http://philrandolph.com/philrandolph/philrandolph.nsf/dx/02102010075038PMHOS477.htm?opendocument&comments
