    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?

    When I first started doing planks my back would hurt later in the day so I did less time. Now I am strong enough to increase my time. You might also try doing them on your knees until you get stronger.

    @135terry I miss my dog. My allergies got so bad I had to get rid of all pets years ago. I have since adopted a stray kitty that wanders the neighborhood. I can't let him inside because of the same allergies, but I feed him. Every morning after my workout he's waiting at the front door for his food at 7am. He's lost part of his tail likely to the cold over the years, so we call him Bob. That last few temperature drops he's disappeared for days and we thought we lost him but he was back the last three mornings for a snack. We even built him a little house out back out of some spare wood from our fence, but he won't use it, he must have somewhere else that's warm he likes to hold up when it gets nasty.

    That would have been so hard giving up your pets. Our Maggie is over 12 and starting to show her age. She has quite a few health issues and I can't imagine how hard it will be if we lose her. Bob sounds like a community cat probably lighting up many people's lives every day :) To your point, hopefully he has a place to go when the weather is gets bad.
