180,650 pushups completed
819,350 pushups to go
4,881 pushups ahead of schedule
News Flash! Thunder John visited Lowell Elementary School in Wheaton, IL. The "Pushups Superhero" talked to the children about the importance of staying active. The P.E. teacher at the school, Mrs. Maryanne Minser, arranged for the visit to coincide with "International Walk to School Day".
This Just In! The Masked Muscleman next inspired the crowd with the story of his quest to 1,000,000 pushups. He then ripped off his business suit to expose the "TJ" logo on his supersuit and proceeded to do 10 push-ups with the children.
Hot off the Press! An extended autograph session followed where TJ signed over 100 autographs. No joke, those kids were excited to see Thunder John in all his glory. Thank you to Mrs. Minser for the extended buildup - I hope the visit lived up to at least 1% of what you talked it up to be.
