Anyone want to join an Octoberthon thread?
Run, swim, or do some other form of exercise every day during October and then post about it.
Inspired by the increasingly inaccurately named Juneathon thread
(Juneathon rules)
I'm not actually planning on exercising every day - I'll be having 1-2 rest days each week.

Yes, I think it could be time for a new thread - October was quite a long time ago. 
I was hoping to have a reasonably quiet evening and exercise first thing tomorrow. However, DH has just invited friends round this evening, so that obviously isn't happening.
(Actually now I think about it, I took a break for another week when my parents visited and occupied my front room more or less permanently).

So glad to hear you're only human too, Oubliette! 
I got out for a half hour run at lunchtime. It's gone so cold here and windy, but at least it's stopped raining for a bit.
I've had a lot more breaks than you have, Oubliette, but I'm definitely feeling the benefit of it too. Will I start a new thread tomorrow for the new year?
Anyway, have a lovely evening, and all the best for a great 2016

OK, so I never got round to exercising yesterday 
Today I've done NMTZ, so I'm feeling less lazy.
I can't believe tomorrow is January. That means I've been diligently working out for 7 months (well, except for 3 weeks of holiday). I definitely don't need regular exercise to be my 2016 New Years resolution.

Storm frank has hit here with a vengeance so I didn't get out running last night (back too late from in laws the night before). It was dry this morning even though it was very windy, so I ran to boot camp. I chickened out and blagged a lift home though

I wondered if it was you! I'm at the in laws today and tonight, so won't risk running on very dark rural roads. Hopefully we'll get home tomorrow early enough for a run.

I weirdly understand, Oubliette - I went out for a 35min run this evening and definitely feel better for it. Unfortunately, I did eat my body weight yesterday, so I was fairly plodding

Happy Christmas to you too! Hope it's lovely for everyone.
I got in a short run this evening. It was about 3 degrees so I had 5 layers on me but it wasn't too bad.
I'm going to try to keep up a bit next week, so I'll drop in if I manage anything more strenuous than sorting through the chocolates

DH is on holiday this week, so he is dealing with childcare and Christmas preparations. I've still got one more day at work (and quite a bit to finish off).
This evening I've done NMTZ. I'm quite enjoying this set of circuits - it had a nice balance between upper and lower body and core/abs (although it does lack cardio).
I'm not sure I'll fit any exercise in tomorrow, so il wish you a very merry Christmas

I decided to bite the bullet and finish off Ri30 (L4D8) and 6W6P (L2D16).
I'm planning on doing another session tomorrow and then having a few days off for Christmas.

Got to boot camp this morning as dh is now on hols so was at home with DS. The sesdion was reasonably tame since it's Christmas week -- a short hiit session followed by planks. Just been for a bracing walk (me), scoot (DD) and bike (DS) for a half hour before it rains and I held in my core for as much of it as I remembered to. Now I'm not sure if I'm hungry or have ab-ache

Hope you're enjoying the burn, Harry
I missed Friday as morning bootcamp was cancelled and I was caught up all evening. I planned a run yesterday but fell asleep instead I managed a 30 min run this evening. I'm getting better at holding my core when I'm running and bloody hell it makes a difference. I wore a skirt today that I bought a year ago but it has been too tight up to now so I was delighted.
Domino, fair play to you getting out early so much. I have done phases of early morning runs and it's great, but then the kids stop sleeping and I can't drag myself out of bed early enough!

OK - back on it properly this evening:
Ri30 L4D4 & 6W6P L2D14
I think I'm still on track to finish both before Christmas
How are you feeling after boot camp and painting Kanyes?
