Day 3: Almonds

Got out of work a little later than anticipated, but still went in for the workout, so special shout-out to everyone holding me accountable. Just didn't have time to do as many push-ups and sit-ups as I wanted to. I have discovered a new nemesis. The people in my office stock these really awesome roasted almonds that are kinda dusted in this dark chocolate powder. I'm decently good about not snacking on them ALL day long, but in the morning when I'm really hungry, these things really hit the spot. I guess it's better than what I COULD be snacking on, but I probably need to go check the Nutrition Facts as that will help with portion control. That and the snacks people bring to my Bible study aren't helping any. Must be better tomorrow. Anyway, running felt pretty good today even if it was still on the treadmill. I know people don't like it, but at least it keeps me running at a constant speed. If I was on the track, I probably would slow down as my legs started hurting more and more. The added benefit of doing this on a treadmill is I get to practice my "math in public" skills. Unless I can get one of the two treadmills that have the pretty red line, I have to actually figure out when to start running/walking, which is easy until I get into the ".12 miles" portion. I can barely do math when I'm sitting there staring at it, let alone when I'm doing one of my least favorite things in the world! :)

Day 3 Workout -> Intervals
.5 miles @ 6.8 mph, .25 miles @ 3.5 mph -> x2
.25 miles @ 7.0 mph, .12 miles @ 3.5 mph -> x4
.12 miles @ 7.5 mph, .06 miles @ 3.5 mph -> x4
Sit-ups: 50ish -> I heard this week that one sit-up is hitting your knees, then hitting your back on the ground again, so that's different from what I'm used to...it sorta messed up my counting
Push-ups: 24

Push-up clinic tomorrow for all the chickas in the Wing who signed up for it. We'll see what the experts say!

V/r,
