Day 7 dawns. Striders around the world have rolled out of bed early once again. And all around the world they’ve been putting on the kilometers. LoneWolf is no exception.
Wake Up LoneWolf, Wake Up!
Snowshoeing with the SKs
LoneWolf’s eyes pop open. It is dark. It is silent. The alarm has not rung yet — it is only 6:45. “I’ll get up early,” he thinks to himself. His eyes close for a second. The alarm sounds and it is now 7:00. “So much for beating the wake up time.”
We Like to Move It! Move It!
Now LoneWolf has a quandry. Sweet Mama has taken the LoneCubs to school today, so the day belongs to him. The call of the woods is strong … but the snowshoe is in no shape for travel today. “I’ll figure out something,” he thinks. “I wish that one of the cubs had skiing or snowshoeing today — I could use the school’s snowshoes.”
The phone rings. Sweet Mama is calling. It seems that LoneCub2’s class is going snowshoeing this afternoon and they need volunteers!
1:30 finds LoneWolf with his little cub and friends in the wild woods. Yes!
What’s Next?
Five at Five is complete. In the history books. Time to move on.
“Seth,” calls LoneWolf. “What else have you got up your sleeve?”
“How does Double Crunch sound?” Seth replies.
“Sounds like a breakfast cereal. Bring it on!”
Now I have that song in my head (We like to move it, move it). I enjoy it and have it on my blog’s playlist to exercise to.
Great job on the challenge.
I read your proposal about Feb. 18 (7/7). How about doubling whatever we’re challenged to do that day? Ten push ups become 20. Too brutal? Probably.
You asked me about how much water I drank. On a good day, I drink about 6-9 glasses. I don’t count but do set my watch for about every 1.25 hours then drink about 8 oz. I stop around 7 p.m. so I’m not up during the night making trips to the restroom.
I had a friend who did drink too much water and depleted/diluted her electrolyte count. She had to be hospitalized. I keep that in the back of my mind.
(If you already read this on my blog, sorry.)
Good luck tomorrow! Don’t forget to stretch out your abs afterward.

My naturopath is wanting me to drink 10 glasses (16oz) a day. I’m a heavy guy (I need to lose about 90 lbs) and he’s basing it on 1 cup for every 10 lbs of weight but he’s cutting it off at the 200 lbs mark even though I’m well passed that.
I suspect that the electrolyte issue is an important one as well and needs to be addressed with diet and supplements but my levels are pretty high already so he’s not too worried about that yet.
Well, I hope that you enjoy the Double Crunch — I’ve never been a big fan of ab work, but obviously I need to become one. A strong and flexible core is important for golf. And a nice 6pack would make my wife happy too 8=)

That’s a lot of water. At least you’re in the woods. 🙂
