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.
