My low back & knee are still just flared up & aching. I don't know if its the cold air settling in these old bones, but its really put a hampering on me.
But I am determined to find other ways to try & keep this body strong - or as strong as possible.
I'm already signed up to do the Holiday challenge of 1 mile a day - run, walk, crawl - however to do it - for the rest of the year starting on Thanksgiving (which means lots of posts through the end of the year)
But I'm going to try something new I just saw on Facebook.
Facebook - the training tool of 2013 & the future :)

What I love about this challenge more then anything?
It ends on December 30 - MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!
Which I plan on making new goals on that day - the day I turn 42... wow... where does time go.
This is the perfect lead into turning another year older
As well as a perfect way to get these core muscles stronger during the holidays when the core could easily be bigger with lots of Christmas feasts & sweets...
Start at 20 seconds - go for 5 minutes by the end? This should be interesting!
Ok I'm in, but I'll warn you, I.am.puny. 20 seconds seems long at this point :-)
