Thursday is normally a rest day for me, but I went in this morning to do one thing. Just one thing My gym is having a "Hover" challenge - just another name for a plank on elbows. Top three times for the month wins an impressive list of prizes, especially that top time. I was a contender...until someone managed to hold the position for 12 minutes! Now THAT is impressive, if heartbreaking. I was still number 2 at 5:01, and there is no way I can break that 12 minute mark (or even match it). We can re-do as often as we like during the month so I decided to try it again. My time this morning was 6:01 - which isn't a bad improvement! Still in solid #2 position, but I will take it.

My trainer has started introducing me to other plank-type challenges that are dynamic - THOSE are what I need to focus on. Fun that I was able to beat my own time by a full minute though
