Work towards doing a group of 100 at a time as fast as possible. I did 2 sets of 101 today. The 1st one after a 3+mile cruise run this AM and the next 101 after Bike Intervals and a hard 3mi run in the PM. The second 101 was harder and a bit slower, although my form was better. Yesterday when I did 303 - I did 8x25, then 34, then 36, I think 15, then 16. The 1st 101 today was easier than the 303 definitely.
My left shoulder has an impingement also, and needs to be worked on... If I come down with arm in the wrong position it locks for a few then works it way out. So far, it is not feeling bad. My triceps are heavy and so were my legs on the bike intervals today.
All in all, this is very doable... do sets of 1 if need be, rest and go again... or try 25 a day, then progress to 50, 75, etc until you make a 100
Happy BURPEE'g!

Thanks for all of the great comments on my 1st article. I want to briefly comment on a few.
Fitness is about balance - work, diet, life, exercise, and for us developing and maintaining mental toughness and a never give in, never give up, never quit mentality. I am not a believer in absolutes.. Therefore, I am not an absolute strict crossfit strength and endurance coach, or a strict endurance only athlete. As many of you know, crossfit style workouts - develop mental tenacity and toughness. So do long sustained aerobic workouts and races - marathons, triathlons, ultra races or a 5k, 10k, 1/2 Marathon, Marathon, forced marches, hikes,etc. All of these workouts and races will prepare us in a survival situation. During the training period, which is ongoing, (combat mindset at all times, right?) workouts should be highly varied to create muscle confusion, cardiovascular endurance, and to develop a never quit attitude in mulitple conditions, environments, under different loads, working while fatigued, etc.
