    Day 8 - 2x1 min
    Day 9 - 2x1 min, 2 min
    Day 9 total = 33 min
    It is amazing how hard it can be to do 3 minutes of planks! I can't do all three minutes at once although I can sometimes do a 2 minute plank.

    Doesn't matter if you hit your goal, it matters that you set a goal and that you try. Do your best, and come back next month, and the month after, and keep up the effort. Many of us have set higher goals because this challenge has made us better. It will you too, just don't give up! ;)

    Was think about this challenge last night... to get through it I have to average 2:45sec planks every day for the next 20 days... Hmmm! Gotta do it.

    1/1=4x30sec.
    1/2=4x30sec.
    1/3=4x1min.
    1/5=4x1min.
    1/7=4x1min.
    1/9=2x1min.
    1/11=4x1min. All forearm planks. Total to date = 22 minutes.
    Now using elbow and knee pads. This may be wimpy, but I don’t care. The gradual buildup of cumulative elbow/knee irritation/damage is now thankfully arrested. Doing planks isn’t any easier, but I believe I have a better shot at staying with it without worsening elbow/knee condition.

    1/1 :15
    1/2 :20 grunting from 8 secs on.
    1/3 :20 no grunting
    1/4 :18 fell- elbows too far in
    1/5 :30 Yay me!
    1/6 rest
    1/7 missed
    1/8 missed
    1/9 :22 the price for missing
    1/10 :37

    I was feeling pain in back about shoulder blade level, felt better after skipped 3 days, hurt after doing plank last night. Trying to figure out if I should do lower time and build slower or just not do planks. Any suggestions?
