Go Green Get Fit Challenge-Week 5
I’m one of 30 bloggers participating in the 12-week Go Green, Get Fit Challenge as part of the EcoMom Alliance Sustain YourSelf™ Program presented by PlanetShoes.com. Every Saturday I post about progress toward my goals and other aspects of the challenge.
I’m about as far from an Olympian as you can get without being a total couch potato. I’m a non-competitive person, don’t enjoy team sports and don’t particularly like to push myself physically.
But the Olympics inspires me anyway. How can you not admire people who spend their lives perfecting something they love?
So although my workouts are at a totally different level (I’m guessing Olympians would laugh as my use of the word “workout”), I look forward to watching the games.
And even though I’ll never be a marathoner or play on a world-champion volleyball team, I’ve made a pledge inspired by the Olympics—for every hour I watch, I’ll exercise for half an hour.
Enjoy the games!
