Day 3

Well, today I am officially 34 years old.  Time, she is moving too fast.  Mom always told me the older you get the faster time goes, and I am finding that to be true.  So why waste time not enjoying life?  Why sit on the sidelines when you can be doing?  Why indeed?

So yesterday's bike ride got rained out.  Bummer.  I got home, got the bike out of the garage and was almost done pumping up the tires when the bottom dropped out. Le Sigh.  Poor neglected bike.

So I walked on the treadmill.  I did a 20 min mile and then, thanks to Renee B., I tried planking.  She posted a planking challenge on her facebook then posted her results.  I was inspired to try myself, and boy was it hard (that's what she said).  I had DH watch to help me with my form, but I still did it wrong.  I caught myself looking forward instead of down and straining my neck.  I completed the 20 seconds for the first day, but after 15 I was ready to collapse.  I can definitely feel the results today.  Sore!  Here is the plank challenge if any are interested:

So for today, since it is Friday and my birthday, I went ahead and got up early and walked my 20 min mile.  I will also try my planking again before I get up and get ready for work.  I knew if I did not do something early, I would not do anything today.  Oh well, time to plank and get ready for work!
