2019 – NoFear 4 – Foundation Light

I would probably say that March was an ok month.  Pretty journeyman-like with Back & Core being so easy, it felt like I took the entire month off.  At the same time, I have been nursing my left shoulder and right foot and of late have rededicated myself to helping them both heal. 

In general I feel pretty good and healthy, but I could really use some help in my cardio area.  I have kept from running so due to the right foot, but that can’t be the long term plan here.  I will be getting some PT on my right foot, so hopefully I can get it taken care of soon so I can get back to the treadmill at least and then on to the road again.

I am also growing a beard.  It looks pretty poor, but I am sure I will get the bug to just cut it off one day.  That day has not yet come, so I am just enjoying it in the meantime.  As for Cheyenne, she continues the workout push and I would say by now that she has bought in to some degree.  Won’t give her 100% yet, but she has been doing quite well.   

(Kept from previous foreword) – Additionally, I have added a couple layers of complexity or demand to my workout.  First, I am religiously sticking to DareBee and the Daily Dare; I am also, keeping the preliminaries.  Second, I have added a consecutive component – so, starting with the end of IronBorn (9 April 2017), I have worked consecutively.  I intend to push for 60 straight day, then see if I can get to 90.  So far I am enjoying it and my body seems to be rising to the occasion.  I caught the flu a few day before the end of the last phase (around May 2017) – I worked through it and was back up in only a couple of days.  It appears pushing through and forcing my body to continue working, I was able to push the flu out of my way.  I am also continuing my virtual push to OKC via Benton.  I am really enjoying that but I will have to pick up the mileage here in the next phase as I am running out of time. Keep leaning forward.
