1 challenge per month. welcome to the pain cave.
It’s on…As usual…Matt and I had the 1st day of the month conversation that we set the bar too low. To be determined- but for now, start throwing in your updates and we will handle the charting. Rumor has it that there are some marathon runners and some triathletes competing this weekend so look for some high scores.
Seth-
We’ve got our first 12 paincavers in for #BikiniBodyJune.

The beast was stirred. 10,000 stairs in October. Octowussy is on.
so this 2100 pushup challenge has been brutal.
work, life & travel has been conspiring against us all
for me, total poor planning has resulted in facing 530 pushups in the final 3 days.
i am happy to report that right now it looks like i will earn my star (only 110 left to go before midnight). I am the red line in the chart.
big stars & congrats to:

Zero for seven
April Challenge:
Somewhere… at some point… I ran across a pretty cool challenge that piqued my interest.
Exercise 30 minutes a day for 100 days.
Understanding that 100 is more than 30… we decided to modify the challenge for The Monthly Pain Cave.
Also understanding that some of you have actual lives and actual things to do other than exercise… You are allowed 7 misses. You can skip 7 days if you must and still get your star.
Rules of the #Dirty30
Who is in?

Email us or leave a note if interested monthpaincave at gmail dot com and we will get you on the sheet for tracking.
(matt here: since some of you mother-effers are the litigious type. exercise shall be defined as “exerting one’s self physically resulting in a heart rate of 60%+ of your personal maximum range, muscle engagement & general pain, swearing, and/or cursing of the gods.” Do it, humans!)
It’s best to not even discuss the ab work. Let’s move on. Is everyone ready to get your run on? It’s the final week (starting tomorrow) and here at MPC this week… that means running.
If you are pasty white…here’s your first excuse to actually have to go outside to do a challenge. Sometimes there’s a big glowing orange globe in the sky, it’s warm.. you should check it out, but don’t stare for too long.
Count your miles. Walking, running, jogging, skipping….whatever you can muster. There’s a potential prize for the top miles completed this week. Don’t hurt yourself over it though. Enjoy.
Today is the final day of the Calf raises. Tomorrow we start crunches. There is a clear leader in the pack. (This should make you angry.)
Alas…it’s not too late. This beast is graded on a curve. Get in your crunches and start building mileage for the last week. Enjoy the pain.
Seth
