Treadmill Self-Challenge – Day 02 – Night Watch by Josh Lanyon

I haven’t been as good as I’d like to be with my exercise regime. I’ve got a treadmill, and I hop on it for a half hour, approximately every other day. That’s not good enough. So, I’m challenging myself with a goal of getting on it every single day, and working up to perhaps an hour, if not a little more. I maintain a fairly slow pace (30min/mile) and don’t plan to change that significantly (if at all). My goal it to do it more often, and for a little longer.

My hope is that posting a chart about my successes/failures will help motivate me to stay on track.

Today I mowed the yard and figure that counts in lieu of treadmill time. Considering the amount of time, and that I’m pushing a mower on a hilly yard, it’s actually a better workout than using the treadmill.
