Narrative: (Duration – 73 mins) →  My Nike Link
I did it – 30-Day challenge completed and not a single day missed; well, I switched around my last day so that it wasn’t an off day.  Not only did I complete all my movements; I even did my 3min Plank test.  I definitely have a much stronger core than when I started and I got it done by sticking to my program.  Specifics: Did 10mins on the elliptical (15° incline @ ~80spm) and alternated between resistance 1 and 2 for the first 10mins and then alternated every 5mins thereafter.  I broke and did my 3.0min Plank test first and then the rest of the movement (30x) following each 10min session.  I really felt drained after that.  All in all, this was a really great challenge and I would do it again.  I feel much stronger now and so will do a bit of sculpting in the next phase.  Much grats to Jason for holding me down through the whole thing.  I will take off through this weekend to get the muscles some much needed rest and then start my climb.  I think I will start will smaller ones first and then work up to Everest though.  Really proud of myself; this was really a great accomplishment – YEAH!  That’s it for today… Good livin’…just keep on movin’.
