    Happy Saturday!!

    Strength Training: Pushup challenge (also did a bunch of yard work). 5 sets: 23/28/23/23/33 = 130. OMG, this was hard. But, awesome that I could do 33 pushups in a row!

    Food: indulged a bit. PMS week, so not sweating the cravings much. I'll be back to cleaner eating shortly.
    That's good on the push ups brandi! Not many guys can do that!

    Thanks! There is one person in the challenge group (a guy) who is slightly ahead of me. We actually had the same routine last week, but his new Max test will put him ahead of me this week. It's been cool to push myself with these. But, man, that *kitten* hurts!

    Monday!

    Cardio: 5K training: 12min run/3min walk X 3, plus our usual extras. 4.3 miles done. 56 minutes.

    Food: a little under.

    When's your 5k?

    My first 5k is March 23rd. It's more of a "fun" one called Neon Splash (night run where they hit you with colored water). Am also signed up for another night one in June called the Electric Run. We (my running buddy and I) are also going to look into a 10k, and eventually a half-marathon.

    Sunday: technically a rest day, but went to Austin to support a friend in her 2nd half-marathon. Ended up walking a good 5 miles.

    Food: didn't track, probably on target.

    Monday!!!!!!!!!!!

    Cardio: 5k training. Week 8 (last week of training program). 30 min run x 1. Plus 5 min warm-up/5 min cool down. 4 miles total.

    I have to admit, that ****ing hurt. First time I've felt queasy from a run. So proud of me and my running partner. We ran the entire 5k distance. After this week, we'll still be running 3 times a week. Will be tweaking our pace for the race, since we'll still have 3 weeks left.

    Food: under.

    That's good that you're starting to get running down brandi. Running 3 miles for me is enough.

    Thanks! I'm really liking the running. I mean, still love the strength training, but this has been a nice addition. My partner and I have discussed the longer term goal of running a half-marathon at some point. Maybe next year.

    Tuesday!

    Strength training: Push up challenge. I'm repeating Week 5 of the program (and this is only my 4th week into it) due to my exhaustion level.

    17/19/15/15/30(max) = 96 total.

    Food: a little under.

    Don't think so. I do think I landed wrong once while running. Some swelling below ankle along inside of my foot. I walk just fine on it, but definitely seems like a light strain of some kind.
