30 Day Challenges

250 squats today, 1 month, 3295 total, 30 Day Squat Challenge is completed.  I am now ready to tackle Mud Hero on Saturday morning.  30 Days ago, Steph and I started this challenge and we are now done.  Confirmed with her not too long ago that she finished it this evening.  I have noticed a difference in my glutes, quads and hamstrings being tighter.  This should definitely help me as I run through mud this weekend at Mud Hero.  

Finished this challenge this evening

Tomorrow we are going to start a new challenge.  The 30 Day Abs Challenge.  I know it says June, but we'll go from July 24-Aug 22 if my math adds up properly.  It looks fairly easy to start, but with the gradual increases, day 30 looks tough.  I thought the same of the squats, but in the end, 250 wasn't that difficult, especially in sets.

Starting this challenge tomorrow
My plan is to continue on with 250 squats daily, with a rest day every 4th day.  Feel free to do the Ab Challenge with us or start the Squat Challenge on your own.  I have also convinced a couple other friends to do the Ab Challenge with us.  Always good to have friends help motivate and encourage each other to follow through.  Also, I would like to wish Steph good luck as she runs the 2013 Tely 10 Mile Road Race this Sunday in St John's Newfoundland.  Looking forward to seeing her new bling.  Carrie and I will be tackling Mud Hero Saturday morning with a few of her friends.  Jay and Ed will be joining us in the same wave, but on a different team.  It will definitely be a challenging, fun and muddy event.

The original pic was a bit difficult to read, so I created this spreadsheet with the intended dates of our challenge which is a bit more legible.



A friend just posted this on Youtube, so I thought I'd share it here.  It is pretty funny.  He had me laughing at a bunch of his stunts.  Enjoy!
