It's autumn, a time of summer ending and the colder months beginning. It's a transitional time, which means it's a good time to make changes, to try new past-times and new ways of living. The air is sharp and crisp like a newly picked apple. So bite into it. Kick up any leaves strewn across your path. Enjoy the body that you've been given -- it's the only one you're ever going to have. And get it moving.

Monday, Oct. 1st:

45 minute spin class, with two weight intervals
60 minute circuit training class. That thing where we do bridge pose and roll an exercise ball back & forth killed my hamstrings.

-18 minutes HIIT on elliptical. Ran out of time. Round 2 in the afternoon!

Hike this morning preempted by nasty cold rain. 4mi tonight. 4 sets pushups/stretching.

Like the photo and the words, saef.

Oct. 1: I bagged the swim and walked the dog (40 min, 2.25 mi) and did 60 min on the elliptical in the cardio cinema. Evening dog walk was rained out (again).

JohnKY, thanks, as in that initial post for the month, when I do it, I think of myself as creating an inspirational or motivational poster. We have those things plastered on the walls at my office, mainly in the corridors and stairwells. Of course, there it's just propaganda to get more work out of us.
