I have slightly injured myself. I was doing my 3 miles every other day, giving my body a day of rest. I got so excited about my body changing that I decided to up the ante.

I lost.

I went from having an occasional pain near my right hip joint to having very acute pain in both. Slow and steady wins the race turtle-girl. *Aesop fable reference. . .google it*

So, I did not do my trail today; however, I did get some exercise in.Today marks Day 1 of a 24-day abs challenge. I got this challenge from 75 year-old body builder Ernestine Shepherd. This woman is such a fitspiration of mine. I mean if she can do it, certainly, I have no excuses.

It ain't no fun, if the homies can't have none, right? lol I have begun the challenge with a small group of dedicated friends. Together we will hold each other accountable as we finish this challenge. I have included the challenge below just in case any of you, my readers, want in.

I can't decide if I want to post before and afters yet. I guess we'll see in 24 days.

Holla!
