Week 17 - silver linings?

I can breathe again! (Mostly.)

So I started on a catch-up plan... I'm woefully behind in my planks, but if I incorporate other exercises maybe I can make up for 2 completely lost weeks?

Saturday I planked, squatted, lunged, and crunched.

Sunday I did my plank and a 6.5 mile run. (Halelujah!)

And as I type this, I'm about to finish my plank for the day.

This will be an F minus month as far as goal grades go, but that's no reason to throw in the handkerchief... err... towel!

Fit(ter) in 15: Week 16

So... in case you're tuning in, last week my kid was down-for-the-count sick.
And then I got it.
Haven't done a plank, squat, sprint, or really any exercise since April 2.
The goal this month was 1 plank each day, but at this point I'm just looking forward to being able to breathe again.

Fit(ter) in 15: Week 15

March was speedwork month, and April is shifting gears completely into a hold-that-pose challenge: PLANKS.

The goal: One plank (60 seconds, minimum) each day this month.

How did I do this week?

So yeah.. My kid is sick. Like bronchitis. Up all night. Coughing til he hurls sick.

I can't remember the last time I slept. He's starting to recover (finally) but I'm still running on nothing but caffeine and carbs. Aside from walks with the stroller so we can both get some fresh air, exercise is a distant memory.

Fit(ter) in 15: April plank-a-day challenge begins

March was speedwork month, and April is shifting gears completely into a hold-that-pose challenge: PLANKS.

The goal: One plank (60 seconds, minimum) each day this month.

How did I do this week?

• Wednesday: So, I sort of forgot it was April, until 9:52pm... at which point I sprang out of bed and did a...
• 60 second plank! Yes. I got out of bed to exercise, just to make sure I didn't screw up the very first day of the challenge.
• Thursday:
• Playground plank! Evening daylight is my friend.
• Friday, Saturday, Sunday...
• Friday we had visitors in town, and then kiddo got sick. It's all been downhill since then.
