30 Day\/5 Minute Plank Challenge<\/a><\/strong>. \u00a0I did a great job of doing them until I needed to hold the plank for 75 seconds. \u00a0I just couldn’t get past a minute. \u00a0My body would start shaking 10 seconds in and just shake the whole time. \u00a0By about 50 seconds my back would start to hurt and bam, I couldn’t do it. I took a few days off and then ended up just doing a bunch of 1 minute planks. \u00a0I ended up doing or attempting the workout on 24\/31 days. \u00a0Some of those 24 were also scheduled off days! \u00a0I plan to revisit this in November, so hopefully that will work better!<\/p>\nI did make progress on other goals!<\/p>\n
– We went out on two kidless dates!!<\/p>\n
– I read all 31 days of the Bible Reading Plan<\/p>\n
– I did Crossfit 5\/9 planned times, I was sick at the beginning of the month.<\/p>\n
– I only ran 10.4 miles, which puts me behind the “schedule”\u00a0and is way off the 40 I did last January. \u00a0It was cold, I was sick, and the schedule has some kinks! The weird snow-less weather has meant that I haven’t been able to do any snowshoeing either.<\/p>\n
– I did get to ride my bike outside which was fantastic! On an almost 50 degree random day I snuck out and did the Cedar Lake loop for 11.5 miles. \u00a0I biked more last January too, but didn’t get outside at all! \u00a0This also puts me behind the curve, but that’s to be expected!<\/p>\n
– I’ve been doing mobility. \u00a0Some days I squeeze it in right before bed, others I plan on squeezing it in and then forget. And some days its just a quick roll with the foam roller. I did it 21\/31 days. \u00a0I need to work on some of the quality of it…<\/p>\n
February is short and sweet!<\/p>\n
– Read a poem a day,<\/p>\n
– Write some poems!<\/p>\n
