I set a challenge and many participated.  Some did pushups, some did crunches, some did jumping jacks, and some ran 9.11 miles.  We all did this in rememberance of so many that lost their lives on this day 10 years ago.  I was going to do them throughout the day but later decided I would make it more of a struggle for me.  I wanted to do it in 2:00 hours.  I came close and ended at 2:07.  I struggled immensely but this struggle was no where near the struggle of those that lost loved ones that day.  I felt like giving up after about 400 pushups and decided to search Youtube for video clips of that day.  It was emotional and and I cryed.  This emotion gave me the drive to keep going and to not give up on what I had set in my mind.  I’m glad we decided to do this challenge together.  We all posted our numbers on facebook as we hit certain marks.

Sept 11, 2011. Doing 911 push ups for a challenge by Scottie Hobbs. I guess the point was to offer a show of support & sacrifice. I suffered a little, the victims & families suffered a lot. I did 400 on my knees, then decided I needed to hurt more so I did the rest on my toes, then the last 11 were dive-bomber push ups. The whole time I thought of all that was lost and all we continue to lose. I cried. I thought of our troops and their families. I thought of my soldier. Thank God we have people out there protecting us, sacrificing their freedom & lives so that we may live free. I love you all. -Sheri Johnson
