February 12, 2023 It's been a real struggle to get my full menu of workouts done this past weekend. Just too many high priority activities stacked on top of each other so I had to prioritize running and at least continuing on one of the challenges. Next week should settle down more so I can...

February 6, 2023 Almost a week and a half into the 8 weeks to 5K and it feels good to get acclimated to running in the cold. My goal is to hit 10K before the end of summer and maybe sign up for at least 1 10K+ race this year. Got to keep my eyes on that goal and structure everything else around...

January 28, 2023 I feel as though my current program wasn't strenuous enough so I decided to add running back into my regimen. Although I have run 5K and 10K in the past, it has been several months since I did any running due to life and winter weather. This being said, the winter has been...

January 11, 2023 Happy New Year! I know it's late and it's been a little over two weeks since doing a check-in post. This being said I try to keep the original post up-to-date. Delays have been due due to my time being devoted to a lot of things and scraping by enough time to get my workout...

December 27, 2022 We are well in to the end-of-year holiday season. Subjectively, I would say I have done a lot better in terms of not going overboard with festivities with eating and drinking. It has been a struggle for sure. Keeping up with the exercise day-to-day has also been a good test of...

December 20, 2022 The week started strong and then ended on a very disappointing note when I missed my routine on Sunday. I was on track to continue my longest streak until I was woken up on early Sunday morning with an intense cramp in my left calf muscles. I did not feel confident all of...

December 11, 2022 What a week! We are hurdling over challenges and doing our best. Every time I manage to complete a tough workout it feels very rewarding and it feels like a win. I have discovered that core/abs are definitely not my strong suit. Endurance in those areas can definitely use some...

December 4, 2022 This week was hard and difficult in so many ways. There were a lot of demands on my time which limited how much time I had on top of working, sleeping, and eating. The work week was especially tough due to the workload. I had to balance these demands out with trying to move...

November 28, 2022 Well, I fell off the horse. The important thing is to get back onto the horse. What caused me to break the chain? I moved to a new home. Between Saturday and Sunday I could not find the time nor energy to start or complete the workouts. Each day ended with a full body sore...

November 24, 2022 Given the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States I thought today might be a good time to post a short mid-week check-in. We are still going strong with consistent exercise. This is definitely a plus. There are days that feel harder than others, but I am still managing to...

November 20, 2022 One week in and still going strong. It has been a long time since I challenged a "high burn" type of workout regimen. It feels so far like a good reset. My only gripe is that I am reminded that I definitely have a weak core that at some point I will need to overcome or maybe...

November 13, 2022 Took a while for me to come up with what was next. Perhaps I should start browsing in advance of the day of when I complete challenges and programs. Here is the new menu: Challenge: Better Legs Challenge: Daily Cardio Program: 90 days of Action - II Goals change over time...

I have definitely lurked and used Darebee for quite some time to do some training. However, I think I am well past the stage to keep track of what it is I am doing and making sure I keep myself accountable. The other thing I want to see myself doing is record my progress. It is easy to forget...
