feels hot. I know it is 68 when I started and 73 when I ended but that is still hot.

Good run today. No pain!

I did a mini physical fitness test on myself (navy style) I failed miserabley by my old strength standards. I used to be able to do 100 situps in 2 minutes with time to spare (100 is maxed out) and like 40 pushups. today I gave up at 73 sit ups and 10 man pushups and another 20 girly pushups. I did okay on the run portion. I could have been speedier..but considering the heat I will give myself a break.

i think from now on I will test myself maybe every two weeks. It may give me the motivation to be more consistant with my strength training. It is funny b/c before I used to only do yoga and push ups now I vary my routine a little with weights and my push ups have suffered!

Today is a good day--cap and gown pick up! This saturday is the 1/2 marathon and next saturday is graduation!

Exciting stuff. And wow on 100 situps in 2 minutes. I might have been able to do that in 5th grade.

Congrats on the graduation, and good luck in the half!

If I could do 73 situps in any amount of time I would be braggin' about it :)

Good luck on Saturday and the next Saturday too! You are tough enough; that many sit ups in 2 minutes will just strain your neck. Have fun this weekend!

Rat-I'm pretty sure you could do more than me any day!

aunt--you are probably right. I may change my abs strength 'test' to time in plank position. I think that would be more fun!
