    3 October: 3 minutes (6 x 30 sec - straight arm)
    4 October: 3 minutes (3 x 60 sec - straight arm)
    5 October: Unexpected rest day - still sick and just not feeling it today.
    6 October: Unexpected rest day
    7 October: 5 minutes (5 x 60 sec - straight arm) ~ had to start to make up for missed days...ugh!
    8 October: Rest Day
    9 October: Rest Day
    10 October: Unexpected rest day
    11 October: 3 minutes (6 x 30 sec - straight arm)

    It's a great challenge. It's not too much that you can't do it, and it'll strengthen the crap out of your core. Mine feels like a brick house only 1.5 months into these challenges. I'm sure there will be another one in November as well (I hope, it keeps me motivated.. thank you b3achy!).
