Today I walked because I’m still coughing and I don’t feel quite ready to run. But I’m close. Today’s walk was the longest so far, and I’ve also been doing some light yoga in the mornings as well.
One of the many things I like about running is the feeling of progressing. Going a little bit faster or a little bit farther. In my running hiatus I came across something to give me a mini version of that feeling. I found the 30 day plank challenge on The “Movin it with Michelle” blog here, and it’s great. I’m on day 7 now. If you’ve never really focused on your core but would like to, this is a manageable and satisfying challenge, and I highly recommend it. For me, it’s contributing to keeping me sane while not running.
If you don’t know what a plank is, you can learn about it here.
