Training Day 1

It's always important to start with a benchmark so you can measure progress.  This evening I started my training after work with a couple of benchmark workouts. 

My results follow:
Current Weight 180 pounds
2.4 Mile Run/Walk - Total time 32:12, average pace 13:09, fastest mile 12:13
1-minute timed workouts:
 situps - 15
 high knees - 90
 jumping jacks - 62
 pushups - 17
How long to hold full plank - 33 seconds
How long to hold modified plank - 50 seconds (on knees)
arm hang - 7 seconds
How much weight - 10 rep bicep curl - 15 pounds

I also started working my way towards 100 burpees by May 31.  Today I started with 10 burpees (2 sets of 5) that you can check out in the video below.

This is totally my favorite running shirt - it 100% expresses exactly how I feel about running :)

Well that was scary

Recently I received the opportunity to have a plethora of functional –medicine style tests ran courtesy of BLUEPRINT fit by Quest Diagnostics.   BluePrint Fit was the daily sponsor for Charity miles about a month ago and I received a promo code to get these tests ran for free.  I figured knowing more about your body is always a good thing and these tests would be a great way for me to get a baseline for various things like nutrient levels, how my metabolism works, my hormones and other magical numbers.  I didn’t anticipate any numbers coming back outside of the normal range with the exception of a few hormones (I was diagnosed with PCOS about 3 years ago so my hormones can be all over the place sometimes) Surprisingly my hormone numbers were all within the normal range, but a few other numbers came back that were a bit concerning.   When I was in my mid-20’s my doctor ran a routine blood screening to test things like cholesterol and my ...

Still on the right path

Yesterday's Girls on the Run 5K was a blast.  What a wonderful organization I am so honored to be able to support such a worthy cause. Today I had a meeting after work and I planned on getting home around 8 or 8:30 so I expected it to be a rest day, so when I got home before 7 I decided I had to take advantage.  I grabbed the leash, grabbed my dog and we took off on a gentle 2 mile run/walk.   Did great even though I was a little sore from yesterday.   My dog isn't great at running with out you know, stopping and sniffing, and trying to go the other way sometimes since he's you know, a dog...and we still finished in less than 1/2 an hour. Tonight I'm reviewing my original training plan and adjusting it from the 3 months I had expected and make it a 6 - 8 week plan instead :) Wish me luck!
