Wow, am I ever feeling my abs after that stability ball workout. And not your normal abs (like when you do crunches) . . . the sides of my ribs and down (obliques?) and my lower ab (below the navel) Def a core workout, and one or two of the exercises I simply could not do. A plank with the top of your feet balanced on the stability ball? Very hard. A one-legged plank with the top of one foot on the stability ball and the other foot lifted? No way. But I'm working on it!

Day 20 of 20+, done. Goal? Score!

NHS Couch to 5K, week 4, 2.5 miles, just under 33 mins. I think I'll do a second week of week 4 . . well, at least the next two runs and then start week 5 next week. I have no confidence that I can run longer than 5 min at a shot. lol

eta: dogs walk, 1.5 miles, 30 min.

Feb 2 - 35 minutes stationary bike (12.6 miles)
....
Feb 15 - 1.6 mile walk (30 minutes)
Feb 16 - 5 mile run + warm up/cool down walk and stretching (5.3 miles total, 75 minutes)
Feb 17 -
Feb 18 -
Feb 19 -
Feb 20 - 2.5 mile run + walk/sprint intervals and stretching (3.5 miles total, 50 minutes)
Feb 21 -
Feb 22 - 2.7 mile run + walk/sprint intervals and stretching (3.7 miles total, 50 minutes)
Feb 23 -
Feb 24 - 9 miles stationary bike + walk/sprint intervals (10 miles total, 50 minutes)
Feb 25 -
Feb 26 - Strength training (upper body, lower body and abs) + stretching (50 minutes)
Feb 27 - 1.5 mile walk + 2.5 mile run with warm up/cool down walk + stretching (65 minutes)
Feb 28 - Strength training (upper body) + 1 mile walk (50 minutes)

Yep. 854 total minutes. A bit shy of my goal of 1000.

I'm shooting for another 1000 in March though!

I made my goal of exercising 27 out of 29 days! Some days, I only did push ups or crunches but something is better than nothing. I'm happy!
