I rang in the Chinese new year with 1000 push-ups.
Actually all my teammates back home rang in the western new year the same way but by the time I'd read about the plan I'd already missed it. So I decided that since I was in China anyways, I'd just do it on Chinese new year instead.
It kinda sucked that I didn't get to do it with everyone else but with the time difference that would have been the case either way. I have to admit that it did take me just over 24 hours but I did complete the push-ups in the end. It was actually easier than I'd expected. The biggest challenge was just finding the time. Luckily everyone pretty much just hangs out and eats to celebrate over here so we didn't have training. I feel pretty good that I got them done even though I didn't really feel like pushing myself on one of the few days off I've had since coming here. It's something I can be proud of and now I can take a couple days off from push-ups and still be ahead.
People really know how to celebrate here. There's been fireworks and fire crackers going off day and night. It's pretty loud too, they set them off literally right on the doorstep sometimes!
