Hooray!  I am now able to track my requirements and journal, too!!  Perfect way to bring in the new decade!  Fellow candidates- full disclosure about my requirements... I have a rotator cuff injury which prevents me from doing typical pushups, so I am having to do them on an incline.  I am unable to run because of the injury I sustained to my right ankle during my 4th Dan test, so I am walking my miles.  I've cleared this with Master Evins, but I feel like I need to disclose that information to the rest of the candidates.  Even though those activities are modified, I will be logging them on the website.  Burpees are a bit easier (never thought I would say that) because I basically just jump up in the air and then throw my body on the ground.  LOL.  I count pushing myself up off the ground as the pushup.  Being an older student is tough during the cycle.  Any kind of injury takes quite a bit longer to recover from, so it's important for me to be very careful.  This is where I will put perseverance to the test.
