My Daily Challenge Completed - 100 reps:
-100 reps from 6 hours of baseball (~7 innings pitched and 7 innings at 2B)
My Daily Assessment:
I felt great swinging at my games today and had tons of bat speed against strong pitchers. I went 4 for 8 ( 4 hits out of 8 at bats) with 3 singles and a double, 2 Runs and 1 RBI. My hands are very fast and strong for swinging from my workouts. I played second base well with several putouts and no errors. My pitching was ok at first for my first outing, but I got shelled in my last inning to ruin all of the fun in that. It was a lot of work for my shoulder early in the season, so I'll be doing light work for the next day or two to recharge. I could definitely feel my conditioning from this challenge help me a lot, as well as give me extra confidence. My legs feel great.

"Since I started posting in this challenge, you've given me a reason to blog on steemit. No matter how discouraged I get when it seems like no one is reading what I write, I know I can write it and post it here and it adds to the challenge. So thank you for giving me the motivation I need to stick with blogging!!"
"After starting 6 days ago I already feel stronger. This is definitely the most consistent exercise I've done in an extremely long time but I am happy to be taking part! While I walk around mostly in pain, I know it's all for a good cause! My health! I am feeling better and I'd say my sickness is mostly gone now. I think that if I had not been exercising, I may have been sick for a bit longer. Persistence pays off!"
"I find it deeply satisfying to do these reps, which is a big deal. I've always hated the gym and prefer to exercise at home. But I've lacked the discipline to do it. It sort of feels like I have gym buddies now, without the hassle of going to the gym."
"I seriously cannot explain how much this group pushes and motivate me to keep working harder. I love this fitness community and the support and encouragement will help us achieve our goals."
"Your challenge has helped immensely to keep me motivated lately. I've had a lot of... problems going on so your challenge has been a quantum of sanity in an insane world for me."
