Today was the first day of the Six-Week Challenge. I was weighed, measured, and scanned. Didn't much like the numbers for weight or fat %, but I liked having a 59-year old body better than a 73-year old body.

First we did a minute each of pushups and situps, then on to the special challenge workout. At the end of six weeks we get to do all this again. I did 36 situps, but I had thought I would do well on them. The surprise (pleasant) was that I did 32 pushups. Wow! It really got my heart rate up. Each round was three minutes of one activity, like squat kicks, or plank Spidermans. Glad when that was over, and I could turn in my numbers. I may have to give up my red wine and chocolate (except for Easter) for the six weeks. So sad.

I did the Coastal Run. Since I haven't been on the bike for quite a while, I wanted to take easy. I was almost 8 minutes ahead of the pacer.
