Ramblings:
** As of now I am ending this challenge. Mentally I am wiped!...and dreading tomorrow.  I think I made a mistake using the heavier weights- they are what gave me the blister. If I had stuck with the 16 throughout I think I would have been fine.  
** The fact that I retore my blister has put me over the edge with this challenge!!  My hands were fine this morning and during the 300 16kg swings they were fine so I didn’t tape them.  with the 20kg they were getting sweaty and that was my mistake - I used chalk instead of tape.
** going in today, I was thinking of splitting up the swings into 500 this morning and 500 later....but don’t really have the time - stuff to do before vacation...that was probably my first clue I was mentally done.
** my second clue should have been that,  the thought of working out for close to an hour again - that includes the yoga- was mentally off putting. I like my short 20-30 min workouts....
** If I had done this with days off inbetween (taken 2 weeks) this challenge would have been totally do-able for me.
** I think 9265 in 9 days is pretty good... :)
but I am really bummed I didn’t finish (only had 735 swings to reach 10,000)
