We here at Canonical have been put on notice by our CEO Jane Silber to do 2000 pushups (individual, cumulative) for the month of October.
It’s been nearly 3 years [since the last challenge], and I think everyone should have recovered from that by now. Which means it’s time to do it again. Therefore I’m designating October 2010 as the month for the second tri-annual [2000] Push Up Challenge. I am already envisioning all of the UDS participants doing them between sessions.
One of the lovely quirks of working for a small company.
Of course, I’m in. And although you need to average 66 pushups a day to hit the challenge, 100 a day isn’t really that hard. So I’m going for 3000.
Feel free to play along at home.

I’m in…just did 100. Will there be finisher prizes?
Sure, I’ll give out prizes.
For everyone who completes 2000 pushups, I’ll loan $25 to the Kiva entrepreneur of your choice.
If you complete 3000 pushups, I’ll loan $40
Heh. What a great idea, especially for a geek company. Will we be able to pick Canonical employees out of a crowd at a conference? They will be the ones with super upper body strength.
