Yes, you read that correctly.  I've come up with this challenge for a couple of reasons.

First – I recently heard that a Personal Trainer who does Karate as well has to do 500 pushups a day as assigned by her instructor.  So if SHE can do it, we can do it as well

Second – Kenny (eTownPlaya) had recently had a 300 pushup day and I regularily do 250 pushup days, so 500 is not that much of a stretch.

Third – a 500 pushup a day challenge is inspiring and gives the new people doing pushps something to shoot for.  If they can see that others are taking it on and actually doing it, it makes the challenge believable.

So, the challenge is simple, get down and start doing pushups, keep track over the whole day and shoot for 500 in a single day.

As a side note, I originally thought of a 1000 pushup a day challenge, so expect that soon as well

Okay, my first 24 hr period (actually 21.5 hrs), I did 507 pushups. 

I'll shoot for 500 today also.  Right now I'm at 360.  Only another 140 more to go to reach 500 since 6 am this morning.  I'm 3 away from my 1000.

Today I've completed a total of 513 pushups from 6 am to 10 pm.

I don't really know that I want to keep doing this.  FEeling a little burned out on pushups.  I'm not going for 600 or 1000 in a day.  That's just too much for this gal.
