So is that it? Do I stop here? Do I just crank out 100 a day for the rest of my life? Unless I die pretty young, those numbers are going to go down. But until they do, do I push to get them higher? 110? 120? To what purpose? 100 is keeping me reasonably fit. I could probably do it 3 days a week instead of 6 and maintain myself where I am just as effectively. I might even see an improvement, based on having rest days, the way the folks over at r/bodyweightfitness suggest.
Or consider my body fat percentage. Do I want to do what it takes to keep it around 11 or 12? Am I really happier weighing myself every day and restricting what I eat and drink to try to stay this lean? Is happiness even the right thing to consider as a metric for success or worth? I'm going to keep exercising; I managed the equivalent of a half iron man set of distances last week, and I want to attain that again this week. But I need a goal. I'm getting fitter, but why? At what cost? To what end? Is 100 reps a day and a half ironman a week the apex of what I will achieve? Should it be? Should I go farther? Or broader?
