November fitness challenge

[Butterthebean 8,146]

Will you be released for FULL ON exercise...lifting, etc. nothing held back? Or is it granted in "stages"...just curious!

It's full release but to "ease back into things."

I'm already anticipating having the cardiovascular function of day old bread.

LOL, nah, you will be good. It's not like you sat still this entire time...you might feel a bit rusty but a day or two of that and you will start feeling like the old Bean.

$%^# it got cold outside!! The wife and I just finished out nightly walk and it was cooooold! Total for the day is 4.15 miles and my month total is now 61.4 miles.

We are both thinking about trying this plank challenge thing. This should be interesting, who is gonna help me off the floor?

As of yesterday I'm up to 31.5 miles walked. It will be slow the next week due to surgery last Thursday. I'm still so excited to be doing a challenge!

It's been going slow but I am up to 37 miles so far!!

MTD: 21.75. I'm going so slow! How am I going to make 60 miles this month? Ugh

Checking in for the week. Sticking to my 5 days a week workout pledge. Two days of strength training and two days of C25K so far. Will get in at least another strength session this week.

I can't believe how much I'm getting into the plank challenge! 13 days ago when I started, I could barely hold it for 20-25 seconds. Today I managed 90 seconds!!!! The continual & rapid improvement I can see over just a couple of days is very motivating to me. The other day I saw a 16 year old girl I know & I mentioned planking to her. She immediately challenged me to a plank-off....and I beat her!! I ain't even gonna pretend to feel bad about it, either!

gamegirl,

I specifically remember you saying if you were in pain, you were going to take it easy. If you don't make 60, it's not the end of the world. You're not going to turn into a pumpking or something horrible. I'd rather you do what you can and not hurt yourself. If you hurt yourself, you'll be out even longer.

Exercise hard when you are up to it. Listen to your body. There are many tomorrows. If you go the full 60, you have 38.25 miles to complete with 17 days left as of the 14th. You will need to average 2 1/4 miles a day. I did the math for you this time. I think you have done enough math for others in your other post. :-)

Hah! Thank you. You made me smile, and feel cared for this morning. I feel hugged! You're right, I did say that didn't i? Hoist by my own petard! Who knew someone would actually read my posts?

This has always been my problem in the past. I overdo if, then I hurt so I can't do anything at all, and then when I can...you guessed it, I over do it. Maybe I should try something different this time....
