Day One and Two

So since I did the big reveal yesterday as to what the plan was, I thought today I would start posting what I have started doing.

Day One: 10 minutes of resistance training with a medium-tension band doing full-body from top to bottom and 15 minutes of yoga.

Day Two: 15 minutes of resistance training with the medium tension and 20 minutes of yoga.

If you are interested as to what resistance workouts I am doing,
I found a list at ACE Fitness. Here is the URL: http://www.acefitness.org/acefit/fitness-fact-article/237/resistance-tubing-workout/

I decided to start out with the beginner, then I will step up to intermediate next week.

The yoga, I have been using a combination of Yoga Journal's 21-Day Challenge and Daily Yoga, their Android app.

Once I have more than 30 minutes free and the temperature cooperates, I will cross country ski and once the ice is gone, bike.

Until next time!

So being active on here for about a month now, pretty sure everyone is wondering, "So Cait, what IS the plan? What is the whole purpose of this blog? Seems rather run of the mill to me..."

Well ladies and gents, I am going to officially and finally give you the 'plan' part of the 'A Gal, A Bike, and A Plan' blog.

The Almanzo 100.

It is a 100-mile gravel/dirt bike race in southeastern Minnesota. Eric wants me to do it with him. But, this means I am going to have to do some extensive training to get in good enough shape to do it. So, there's my plan, my goal, what the basis of this blog will be about.

I hope that you all will enjoy my journey.

Need to think of the positives and quit thinking about the negatives.
