I love going for long bike rides. Anything less than 50 miles is considered short in my book. But I only get to ride for that long once a week. The rest of the week is made up of some training sessions on an indoor bike or some shorter outdoor workouts. Usually, I don’t mind the trainer, but the last couple of weeks have been a bit boring.

Challenge of the Week
When exercise gets boring or it feels as if you’re stuck in a rut, it might be a good time to mix it up and try something new for a day or two. Avoid that rut by trying some new exercises/ exercise routines this week. For me, that’s going to be going for a trail run a couple of times this week. For you it might mean giving a yoga class, spin class, or body flow class a try. Whatever it is, try something new this week.
Updates on Earlier Challenges
Last week a handful of folks used the 5×20 challenge tracker. I’m going to keep that running for anyone who is using it or for anyone who wants to get started with it.
Earlier this month I shared the challenge of giving up or cutting back on social media use. I’ve been Facebook free (almost) for a month now. Here are five things I’ve learned from the experience. If you’ve tried giving up or cutting back on social media use, I’d love to hear about your experience in the comments below.
