    For those of you starting late.. no worries. Do what you can do. As @InvaderEmmett says, anything is better than nothing! Feel free to set goals you know you can achieve, adjust them if necessary, and keep coming back each month and improve yourself. Welcome all those starting late, and keep up the great work everyone! I'm still a least 10 minutes behind myself this month, gonna have to do a set on one of my rest days to keep up. ;)

    Well, I ended up missing a day due to the flu, but I made it up a couple of days later, so I'm not behind. 11 minutes total so far this month! It's starting to get a lot tougher than the first week, although there might be a bit of gunk left in my system, too.

    Going to try and find the willpower to get an extra couple sets in tonight as a catch-up day so I may adjust this post. Or I may not. Depends on how lazy I feel lol. Gotta make up a day somewhere to meet my goal this month.

    No worries, I’ll be here every month. About the only thing that will tear me away would be an injury, but even then I will still run the challenge as long as people show up for it ;)

    I haven't been checking in, but I have been planking!

    2/1 - 1 x 30 - 0:00:30
    2/2 - 1 x 30 - 0:00:30
    2/3 - 2 x 20 - 0:00:40
    2/4 - 2 x 25 - 0:0
    2/5 - 2 x 25 - 0:00:50
    2/6 - 2 x 30 - 0:01:00, BO - 0:01:00
    2/7 - rest
    2/8 - 2 x 30 - 0:01:00
    2/9 - rest
    2/10 - 3 x 25 - 0:01:15
    2/11 - 3 x 25, 3 x 30 - 0:02:45
    2/12 - 3 x 30 - 0:01:30
    2/13 - 4 x 30 - 0:02:00, BO - 0:01:00
    2/14 - rest

    Around mid-month I was having a pity party and decided that what would make me feel better is managing a full push-up by my birthday (3/20). I did some reading on how to progress and read a suggestion to do straight-arm planks instead of bent, for a minute straight at least. So, like a genius, I diverted from the planned program to do my own thing. With mixed success.

    2/15 - 2 x 1 - 0:02:00
    2/16 - 2 x 1:10 - 0:02:10
    2/17 - 2 x 1:10 - 0:02:15, 2 x 1:20 - 0:01:45
    2/18 - 2 x 1:20 - 0:02:50
    2/19 - BO - 0:01:08
    2/20 - Rest

    Total so far: 20 minutes, 8 seconds.

    I can do a full minute pretty consistently, but have had to drop to my knees for a couple of seconds at least one attempt every time I've tried to go above that. Plus, my attempt at a burn-out keeps ending after about a minute. I tried re-doing sets but honestly I think I'm just not there yet. I think I'm going to need to figure out how to mix this up going forward.
