Amp Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 *Disclaimer: I am not known to be a faithful blogger but I need a place to keep my mental wanderings and an online copy of my fitness log because I also often forget a pen * First week: Out of the Shire running! Well...walking. Hubby, dog, and I decided to take on the epic Hobbit Walk together. For the first couple weeks we're only aiming for 1 mi/night so we might make it to Mordor before we die of old age. I'm sure the nightly distance will increase as time goes on. Ran through the tutorial workout on Monday to the best of my ability. Struggled to walk on Tuesday. Worked out again on Wednesday and was oddly OK today. Tomorrow is rock climbing *thumbs up* I'm modifying my diet slowly so my brain doesn't freak out about what I no longer plan on eating. I've been considering taking up slacklining as an outdoor at home activity to work on core muscles and balance. It's a bit of an investment though so I'll probably ask around first. In Summary so far, so good, I've been working well above my goals, but I keep them small so that on my bad days ( and I know there will be bad days) I can rationalize, "Well there's no need to give up. You only actually have to do X, and all the other stuff is bonus." and I'll keep fighting the good fight!

Amp Posted August 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Two weeks down in my first six week challenge! Super excited. Also well on my way to being belay certified.
