Every Day in March - get ready for the change of season! (YAAAYYYY!!)



Welcome to the Every Day Checkin!


We are a small group who aim to do some form of physical activity every day, whatever that means for YOU (but don't kid yourself about it either)

Daily posts - not mandatory, nor even "sternly preferred" - but we love it if you do.
Weekly posts, drive-by notes, daily essays all about you.... any of those are perfectly fine - no pressure, EXCEPT to diligently try to add serious movement to your day - every day.

Lexicon:
WERD = Well Earned Rest Day, but even rest days can include movement
TERD = Totally Expected Rest Day, though not especially well-earned, like a planned happy event
TURD = Totally Unexpected Rest Day, hopefully also a happy event
HERD = of TURDS - usually declared after the THIRD TURD in a row. Try to avoid these at all costs, as they can move in & get comfortable, getting OUT of your comfort zone is the way to make change happen

If you're checkin-hunting for something new to see you into the coming summer / winter;
If you've been with us before & dropped off the wagon;
JOIN US on the CHALLENGE of being expected to do something EVERY DAY!
Several of us have had success - keep the momentum going!!
NEWCOMERS ALWAYS WELCOME!

Ok, didn't get back to read the end of last month - just need to get ON with this month.

There's been a rash of EVERY DAY COMPLETION lately!!
Not for me in Feb, however, but there's always another chance to try.

Sun 1st - Derby Training, 2hrs
Mon 2nd - 2 hour dog walk, with buddy & her dog
She called cardio off due to temp: 42C (108F). We took the dogs down to the beach instead.

Thanks for the start

of the March Thread Helen! It's lovely.

I am also pleased that we had below (almost zero) average snowfall for this year, so luckily I can just look at your picture of the flowers coming through the snow without getting depressed!

While I"m here (and then I gotta run):

3/1/2020: Peloton warm up run (10 mins), followed by Becs beginner 20 minute run on the treadmill, followed by 30 minutes Sundays with Love (with Ally Love) on the bike. This week's virtue: DISCIPLINE -- this was her last live class of the series. I do hope to go back and take the others, but this works for now. Season 2 will begin sometime. I love doing these, just wish it wasn't at 11:45 a.m. (kinda in the middle of the day?)

That's it for now. I am off to the treadmill and then bike because It's Monday and I can. And I need my every day mile done early today.

Make it a great day!
Welcome March.
More later.

Need to get this front and center

and back up to the FIRST page of "new posts" ...

Mornin' everyone.
My recess continues. My variety, my challenge to me:

3/2/2020: 4.25 mile run
on the treadmill to Peloton Disco run with Becs. It was great. I was fierce (at least in my own mind). 20 minute Cathe Upper Body premix from her Lite series + 10 minute bounce and stretch on the Bellicon.

How's that for a little variety? I'm sore this a.m. from the treadmill run. But, not like the usual run sore. I must be getting in better shape. She had me do incline work 2-4-6-8-10. Never long, but certainly long enough. lol.

Life is good.
Off to get more morning stuff done and get my mile in before work and maybe a quick bike ride.

Waves to all!!!
Make it a great day!

And here I am ....

Cuz I can be!!!

3/4/2020: Christine's Dead Bug abs + 5 minute core (also CDE) - both Peloton. Mostly obliques on workout two. I'm getting stronger. This evening was 2.1 miles on the Elliptical while listening to a podcast.

That's it. I'm tired. I need a good night's sleep and then tomorrow a good workout!

Make it a great day.

3/1 Made my step goal with dog walks. Ur ate so much snow she was shivering.
3/2 Rowed for 15 minutes. I think rowing is the only exercise that one can just close her eyes, concentrate on form & breathing & just row.
3/3 Walks with the dogs. Had a flock of turkeys on the trail, about 7 or 8. They flew away at the sight of the dogs.
Tomorrow quilt show with the girls. There will be plenty of steps!
