After about 3 nanoseconds of careful consideration, my answer is NO. The lack of rest days just kind of sucks. If I could skip my otherwise days off, I'd be game, but otherwise I'm certain to rip one of my mantoids.
Sam--you dummy. When the going gets tough, you are supposed to quit. And for as many days as you miss burpees, why dont you just go ahead and do like, 400 in one day and call it even?
Somehow the topic of burpees came up at dinner last night (imagine that) and Rosie said, "Is anyone doing 100 days?" And I said, "I am." She literally flung her arms around my neck and then took my face in her hands and said, "Mel, no! You can't! Mel, it will kill you! Don't do it Mel! It will kill you!" I tried to reassure her that I think I will live through it but she was not convinced.

WHY??? Do you realize, and I'm sure you do since you're good at math, that that's like 3 more months of burpees instead of just 20 more days?
I threw that down. Your reason and logic have no place here.
And I would argue that it's close to 2 more months of burpees than three.
70 days. I'll concede on that point. Jury's still out on picking up the gauntlet.

Um, that's why it's a challenge - because it sucks and is hard.

Sam is trying to bully me into doing this.
Excuse me? Trying? More like succeeding -
From our IM:
" Karen: Oh well - If Melanie is doing it then I am all in.
I'm beefy."
Oh - you wanna play like that:
From our IM:
Sam: Quit being a sissy like Chris
1:59 PM me: I would do well to be a strong as Chris.
Good try though.
I am tempted.
2:00 PM Sam: DO IT
thinking and reason are overrated
Uh, that precedes the quote I posted so I'm not sure how that "gets me"
Advantage: Crish

It will kill you in a way. It will kill the weak, feckless Mel. The strong, BA Mel will survive - thrive in fact.
I was just outing you for calling Chris a sissy.
Undergraduate Mel, RIP?
Right, because I never do that in person.
Can it be? Can we finally be free of her?
I guess we'll know in 68 days.
