Breakthrough 1

Today I shaved two minutes off of my 5k! :-) It is still a pretty rough time, but it is progress! My Dad likes to run as well and was my inspiration during the run.

My Excuse

My most popular excuse for not working out would definitely be "It's too early" So I woke up early one morning for a workout and destroyed my excuse.

The Beast - Love To Hate

I definitely love to hate squats. It is a hard day when these roll around in my workout routine. My legs are so weak afterwards. But I love them because I can tell a difference in my leg strength. It is such a good exercise for your legs and it is helping to build up my running muscle for endurance.

My Ally

My ally for achieving my running goal will definitely be my legs and calves. I feel them getting stronger and stronger with every run! :-)

Hanging Around

This is me attempting to do a pull-up. I could only hold it for 2 seconds. My arms could definitely use some muscle. I hope by the end of the semester to be able to hold my weight for 8 to 10 seconds.

Crunch It! Crunch It Good! :-)

This is me during the two minute crunch test. I was able to complete 81 crunches. I'd love to see that improve by the end of the semester.

Mile Run Time

This is me after my mile run (in all my sweaty glory...lol.) My mile run took me 10 minutes and 47 seconds to complete. I'd love to get to 8 minutes flat! Time to get to work.
