I Quit.

I don't like training indoors. I've said it before and I'll say it again, strength work stinks.

So I'm quitting the 100 push-up and 200 sit-up challenges.

Recently, I picked up Dr. Phillip Maffetone's book, The Maffetone Method which describes his formula to reach "exceptional fitness".

In it, I read the following:

"The other primary concept [in exercise] is fun. This is a very simple and straightforward concept. Working out is fun when it is properly done. Throughout this book I discuss a variety of components of a fitness program that can reduce or eliminate the fun of exercise when they are not done right."
The Maffetone Method
Push-ups and sit-ups are not fun. At least not to me. It really became drudgery to sit down in the living room and grind out my sit-ups and push-ups.

So I quit. And Dr. Maffetone says I can.
