Making the Commitment: 2+ minutes of plank
In the rush of things last week, I let core work slip by, except for a few push-ups on the Bosu ball early in the week. Working out — besides a few runs — was the last thing on my mind. In the course of a week, though, I almost lost focus. I really didn’t want to do anything tonight. But then I remembered that goal I set at the end of February to get to a 2-minute plank.
I hit that goal tonight and then tacked on another 7 seconds, nearly a minute improvement since my initial test just a little more than 4 weeks ago. It felt great and I’m looking forward to continue working on my core. Now I need to set a non-running goal for April.

Since this is a “Making the Commitment” post I wanted to mention my weight, which I haven’t mentioned in a while. Two weeks ago I was 186.4; I didn’t weigh myself last week. Since weight loss still isn’t a primary goal, I’m not overly worried about these numbers. I feel good; my core is stronger; and my summer shorts fit just fine after this winter.

YOU DA MAN!!! Way to go on meeting your goal!
Great goal & way to go with your training!!!
HAHA, I just tried on my shorts too to make sure they still fit. WEIRD.
I need to take a page from your book and remember my goals when I feel like collapsing on the couch instead of going for a run. We all fight that urge. You help motivate me to remember what my priorities are in the bigger picture.Thanks for the post!
