Day 12

45 minutes in the basement on the bike to start the day. My outside activity was a 90 minute Score-O orienteering event with my daughter. We walked it all and got 7 controls for 16 points. But were 90 seconds late and lost 6 points! Oops.

The temp was in the mid-20’s but was super windy. And the fresh snow made it a little extra challenge. Though it wasn’t enough for snowshoes.

Day 11

Finished my first non-fiction book today. I chose Hard Work Pays Off by Mat Fraser. Seemed like a fitting start to doing 75 Hard. It was a good mixture of personal anecdotes, training advice, workout ideas, and recipes.

I learned a lot about Fraser in the book, but would’ve enjoyed more stories! I will go back to look at some of the workouts and recipes.

Day 8

Taking a daily picture of yourself seems weird. I understand the idea of tracking and measuring your progress. But I’m not neccesarily doing this for aesthetic reasons more to kick start getting in shape. I also feel like a weekly picture would be a good snapshot and you might see the changes more then.

I’ll do it because that’s the expectation. And since it’s my first time doing it, maybe I’ll be surprised!
