    Well, I'm still alive, though there were days there it was touch and go with the cold/flu that's going around. I swear I caught it virtually from @Spliner1969 and @alipsie19...not sure how they did it, yet. Time for me to do a lot of catching up!

    Sorry to hear about your back @teicu1! But definitely get some rest and heal fast! We'll see you when you are feeling better!

    Hi to all the new people! I think there are a few since I last posted! Welcome!

    Congrats to the hosses and hossettes that have already surpassed 60 minutes! Wow, y'all are amazing! I just reinforces that while I've been down for a week, I can still make up the time! Thanks for the motivation!

    13-17 January: Sick / Nothing
    18 January: 5 minutes (2 x 60 sec - straight arm; 3 x 60 sec - straight arm alternating sides)

    Total: 26 of 60 minutes
    Left to Goal: 34 minutes

    started 12th Jan, all forearm planks (but no longer knees and forearms! whoo)

    12th Jan - 30secs
    13th Jan - 30secs, 50secs, 1min10secs (weird times as asked gf to count me 30 and she didn't stop and I collapsed at 50! so later had to try and make it to a nicer number so managed 1min10 - she says it is good thing, I was not impressed!)
    14th Jan - 4x 30 secs (in exercise classes)
    15th Jan - 30secs, 1min, 1min, 30secs, 30secs
    16th Jan - nothing, no excuse, just got to bedtime and hadn't done any
    17th Jan - 1min, 1min, 30secs, 1mins, 30secs, 1mins (over 3 hours)
    18th Jan - 1min13secs, 1min13sec, 1min, 1min,1min

    loving how I can see even after a few days my ability is getting better to hold. A minute still isn't 'easy' but have been able to push past for that extra 13 seconds a couple of times, and now the first 30seconds flies by faster!


    running total: 18mins 56secs
    (41mins 4secs to go-in12 days. I got this!)

    Fell of the plank bus on 14 Jan due to being under the weather.
    Back to business.... 50 minutes remaining...
    Going to try to get the challenge at least half done!

    Glad to see you are back at it @B3achy! Must have been a stray infected pixel that made you sick. The stuff going around this year is sneaky for sure. My whole family had it over a period of weeks, wife, children, grand children, etc. and I escaped it by continually disinfecting my house, washing my hands constantly, doubling up on vitamins, working out extra hard, etc. Then once they were all over it.. BAM it hit me. There's no escaping it. I opted not to get a flu shot this year because people were saying it was ineffective, so that might have bit me in the *kitten*. Who knows.

    Lol. Yea, I think I've been fighting it most of the month and maybe into Dec as I look at my logs whining about not feeling well. I think sometimes being healthy hurts because it takes longer for bugs to take you down, and then when it does, it's not pretty. I never get the flu shot...I always get sick with it (I know they claim you can't), so figure I'd rather have my body fight it off the natural way should I actually catch it (besides, they often are only guessing (ie, 'predicting' or 'estimating') what the flu might be for that year anyway, so no guarantees that the flu shot will actually work). Unfortunately, fighting it off naturally means it can be a bugger to get through though. Maybe I'll care more when I get older.

    @KareninLux - glad you are feeling better too! And anyone else I missed, glad you are back at it!

    @beerfoamy - it is surprising how fast you can build up (just takes a bit of pushing yourself)...and building up is a great idea to make the shorter times much easier.

    Had a super long paddle today (over 5 miles/over 2 hours), and over did it a bit. So, didn't get as many planks done as I needed/wanted to catch up. Still did some short ones even though my body is sore and tired.

    19 January: 3 minutes (6 x 30 sec - straight arm)
