Hey fitness freaks....and wannabe freaks. Time for the November installment of the fitness challenge. To try to be more inclusive and get more participation, I'm going to open things up in a new way.

The point of this challenge is to set a goal for yourself for the month of November. A fitness goal which will be challenging.....slightly more than you know you can do, more than you did last month. The goal needs to be a concrete measurable goal. The goal can be miles run, walked, biked, swam, ellipted or paddled....or a combination of all of them. But it can also be a goal of hours of exercise. 30 hours of exercise in a month is a challenging goal for many people. It can also be a specific exercise if you prefer....like 3000 squats and 1000 push-ups. Whatever it is, make it challenging, not easy. As I always say, growth and comfort cannot coexist. You want to be slightly uncomfortable. The goal should challenge you...make you slightly nervous as to whether or not you can reach it. Then....GO FOR IT!

Introduce yourself and spell out your goal for the month. Then come back here everyday or as often as you can and update the group as to your current progress toward your goal. Whether or not you make your goal is not the point. The point is to push yourself just a little further than you thought you could go.

I'll start. I'm only 4 weeks post op from my TT so not back to 100% yet, but I anticipate getting stronger as the month goes on. So my goal for November is to walk/run 60 miles. That's double what I'm going to do this month, so a challenging goal. Wish me luck.

Please join in and get moving.

Well, finally got logged in! Wouldn't use my ow. I cannot see what I am typing. All white! Not sure what is happening. . Anyway up to 38 miles!

Kinda too late for that, Butter...unless you're taking body hair...;-P

Maybe now we might get some non sleevers to join in the fun.

5 miles biking, 1.16 walking day 4 of planksgiving where I did 40 seconds so MTD: Miles: 11.16 Plank: 126 s Partial Hyper extension: 40 s C25k : bok bok bok (chicken noises) I think I'll add hyperextension to my goal. I mean, I'm on the floor to plank anyway, may as well do something else while I'm there. With my dang knees getting on the floor is hard enough. Don't want to waste it Edited to add my walking which I forgot.

Didn't update last few days but:

MTD:

Miles: 16

Planks: lost count but I did 50 seconds today yay

Partial superman: holding for 40 s

C25k: bok bok bok

Got a balance ball. Will familiarize myself with it this weekend.

Not sure if this will post, I can not get to the end of this thread on my IPad. It has been a couple days since I posted because of the site transition. I have been riding the recumbent bike daily and now have a monthly total of 42 miles.

I miss all my peeps updates.

Okay, walked 4.5 miles on the Seawall at Galveston today. Tomorrow I board Disney Wonder for seven day cruise. . Excited but nervous of All the food food food and getting enough exercise to offset it! Oh well, 5:2 will see that I lose anything I gain. Hopefully, I can keep up to date. Best to all!

Galveston? You're in my neck of the woods. We're actually planning a trip down there the day before thanksgiving. I'm going to pick up some fresh gulf shrimp to grill for thanksgiving day. I get enough turkey around here.

Well , today I only see threads in here to OCT 27th

Correction. Once I SENT this they show up!

Cool. Where is that?

I'm actually in Tarkington Prairie which is about 40 miles north of Baytown. Between Dayton and Cleveland. Just drive till you're lost in the woods, turn right, go past the second broken mailbox and you're there.
