    Ayyyyyye! Happy birthday, @SModa61!!

    After watching an hour's worth of YouTube videos about proper KB swing form, I think this is a tie for my fastest time (even though I've been using heavier and heavier DBs for the strength portion; I'm on 20lbs/12lbs drop sets since last week).

    The trick today was NOT doing any other exercise during the day, not even walking. And, I think it helped that yesterday was an actual rest day. Lastly, I've been squeezing my planks in between sets but today was a plank rest day. The stars aligned!

    Without stressing out my hip flexor - hopefully - I can shave another 3-4 minutes off my time before month end.

    Thank you, and nice kettlebell work!

    yes x's 3...thankfully the coffee and pastry shop I tried to go to today was closed...or I would have been over...; got bitten on my thumb today and needed stitches...but will be ok; dr. says new test results from the oncologist will be ready on Monday... would love your prayers and best wishes that it isn't positive! ;D

    Praying for you. What did you get bitten by? I’m always curious. The worst I’ve had was loggerhead turtle because it’s a crush injury so even though it was just a small cut across my finger, it was crazy painful. Luckily she only got my finger tip though!

    @Dory_42 - again, I am in awe that almost every aspect of your every day life is not even in the realm of possibilities in mine. I need to get out more.

    My friend felt similarly in September so she called it Adventure September and tried to do something that she considered adventurous every day in the month. Some were big things like going zip lining but most were what she termed micro adventures. Going to watch the sun rise or set, exploring local hikes or tourism spots, swimming in the ocean, going fishing with her husband etc. The entire month, most activities were free or cheap. The zip lining was the most expensive one. When you look for opportunities, they are around you in abundance. Find a new venue to go walking or meet a friend somewhere you have never been. You don’t have to do it every day, try for one thing per week.
