Getting busy lately. I missed another day so this will be another twofer.
The day before yesterday I was tired from my recent work and so I only managed 100—in 2 sets of 30 then 2 more sets of 20.
Yesterday I was still tired, but I pushed myself to maintain the 30 count for all four sets and so I completed 120. This is really the busy time in Japan. Things aren't nearly as busy for me as for salarymen, whose hours seem to double in December, but they still do ramp up. In addition to that, and part of it really, is all the year-end parties, which are a big thing in Japan. I've already been invited to three of them. Basically they involve a lot of junk food, a ton of alcohol, and many hours of drunken karaoke. Kind of fun once in a while, but when you have to slog through several of them, it gets old fast. Don't feel bad for me: feel bad for the middle managers in bigger companies, many of whom may have to go to a few per week with various clients for the rest of the year.
This weekend I'm hoping to do some more and get my numbers back up.
That brings me to 2,565 for the month!
I'm doing this 100 Squats per day Challenge with @livinguktaiwan, @pardinus, and @xrayman to raise funds for Cancer Research. Read my challenge announcement here.
If anyone else wants to join, please do, and please mention it here! And if you want to donate, please donate here or send HIVE/HBD directly to @livinguktaiwan and she will convert it to fiat and donate it herself.
Almost all of us will have to deal with cancer in our lifetimes, either we will get it or someone we love will get it. 1 in 8 women will eventually get breast cancer. An astonishing 1 in 3 men will eventually get prostate cancer. There are many other cancers with similar scary high rates. If you are able, please consider donating or spreading the word of this fundraiser.
