Hi all! I don't really have a theme for this challenge but I do have goals! (That's the important part I guess). Last challenge went really well, so I'm not changing things up too much. Just making them a bit harder / more time consuming. I also started using Zwift (online cycling / running virtual world MMO-type thing) and will be training primarily with that. 1) Build an exercise habit by following Zwift "Back to Fitness" training program How: 2 zwift workouts / week + 1 active recovery ride or yoga Goal: at least 3 days/week "Big Why": Keeping a consistent exercise routine helps me feel less stressed and anxious. I also want to improve my general fitness and run a half marathon again. Specifically this one: https://www.princetonhalfmarathon.com/ Eventually I want to race in a triathlon sprint (then see if i like it enough to do a full distance tri) 2) Save money by reducing alcohol consumption How: No alcohol Monday-Thursday. Have water, flavored seltzer and herbal tea available as alternate option. Goal: at least 4 dry days/week "Big Why": Continuing to save up to buy a house. (Honestly we have enough, just waiting to find the right house for the right price, but additional money saved is never a bad thing) 3) Improve sleep by improving evening routine How: Week0: In bed by 10:30 on work nights (exception is D&D night or days where my work schedule is altered for night shift, etc) — not the right time, will dial the difficulty back Week1: Eating dinner before 9pm Goal: ((Still figuring this out, just going to experiment with tracking and see how that goes)) "Big Why": Sleep is good and important in order to stay healthy / recover from workouts.

Hey all! I just got an indoor trainer and was wondering if any other Rebels use Zwift?? Maybe we could start a Club there and host race events or group rides?? I know Zwift also does running events. If I get my hands on a foot pod that could be fun to do as well!
