[image] CHALLENGE CHECK-IN DAY 13 50 done, 50 more to finish today. Started on it earlier than the last 2 days, so that I’m not too worn out. It seems like every year this happens at the midway point – not getting it all done first thing in the morning. No mystery. My muscles are a bit

[image] CHALLENGE CHECK-IN DAY 4 100 done The rest of my workout is not finished for the day YET… Kitty had a vet appointment this morning, and we are working around the interruption. 😎 That said… I stepped up my assisted pull-up reps to 150, so that’s my extra accomplishment for

[text] CHALLENGE CHECK-IN DAY 1 I’m gonna call it for today and say yeah.. I did 50 on day 1, because I’m not trying to damage myself. It’s been a while for this particular exercise. This illustrates what I was saying about knowing your own body and approaching it with wisdom. My

[text] CHALLENGE CHECK-IN DAY 2 This is just a daily reminder, for those who may need a point of contact. You can simply say “done” once you complete your set, if you want to. You can post your progress, if you want to. I am not done. I’ve got 10 out of the way so far. 😜 Working

[image] CHALLENGE CHECK-IN DAY 11 Today was a crucial rest day, but not from the challenge. It’s still 100 for me. Everything else stopped, because I’ve been going hard for 10 solid days. Scheduling those correctly is something that I have had to learn. My body let me know though. I

[image] CHALLENGE CHECK-IN DAY 15 Not every day is going to look the same. This morning I woke up with a massive migraine, which doesn’t happen all that often these days. I took an Imitrex, drank some coffee, took it easy, took a nap after realizing yeah this really is a rest day,

[image] CHALLENGE CHECK-IN DAY 17 When I say first-light, this is what I mean. This happens about an hour before sunrise, and it’s a great illustration. You can just begin to see what is around you, and gain clarity on your path. It’s technically still dark, the sunrise is coming and

[image] I’m honestly tired enough that I’m just going to pin this one from this morning as today’s check-in post if anybody wants it. lol I did 100 squats but very carefully, because I can tell my connective tissues are not real happy with the rainy weather. The good news is the rain
