Jun 5 - 10
Monday - Fun run 3K time 13:45, plus walk to and from the start line = 20 min cardio and did 10 min stretching.
Tuesday - Fun run time 13:41, 20 minutes stretching. Googled a little bit for advice on how to improve my time. One guy said to increase my time - "try jogging for 21 mins, 3 times a week. then increase by 3 mins each week until you are at 45 mins." then at another site, Coach Benson's advice for a girl trying to increase time over several months (I've just got one!) was "I would guess that you would come closer to your ambitious goal of dropping 50 sec this spring by getting your mileage up to closer to 65 to 70 KM per week. Twenty five to 30 miles per week is rather skimpy for a runner wanting to do about 11:30 for 3200 (= to your goal of 10:50 for 3k)." I better up my running on the treadmill. For the past few months, I've done about 6 miles a week. Maybe I'll do a short run in the morning and go for a longer run outside or on the treadmill at night. :)

May 29 - Jun 3
Monday - 5:45 am - a 15 min jog with 4 sprints on the treadmill, followed by 10 min of planks, then an hour walk with a lovely neighbor Lisa E. Had my final weigh in for the 8 week health challenge with my friends. 133.4 is my new low, woot! I lost 8.38% of my bodyweight over the past 2 months. I'm planning to continue eating this way and weighing in on Mondays. Might start another group or might do it on my own... I think it would be better for me to be accountable to others though. It was a beautiful morning, so excited for summer mornings! I love getting up and out early and watching the sun rise.
Tuesday - upper body workout in the basement for shoulders, chest, biceps, and then did 120 walking lunges.
Wednesday - walk outside for 30 minutes
Thursday - 20 minute 2 mile jog, I jogged the whole time! Didn't stop to walk, go me! Stretched for 20 minutes.
Friday - No school for the kids today, I went on a nice morning walk with friends. 60 minutes, beautiful morning.
Saturday - quick 2 mile run tonight with Mel and Hyrum. They took a short cut and met me near the end so they wouldn't slow me down. I want to time myself and see if I can get really fast and win the fun run this year! Going to take my first test run on the route on Monday morning and then see if I improve my time over the month of June.

Monday - treadmill jog with 4 sprints, 30 minutes, new low with weight 134.8
Tuesday - 30 min jog outside
Wednesday - 30 minute walk
Thursday - 30 minute walk, listened to this version of Master the Tempest is Raging over and over again. I could only do the first two verses and chorus, couldn't listen tot he 3rd verse yet cause we're not there yet (storm is not over, nor do I know when or how it will end)... I'm trying to not feel like we're about to perish (all mostly regarding MM business)
Friday - don't have the energy/drive to jog right now, just a 45 minute walk again this morning while listening to A High Priest of Good Things to Come, 15 min stretching
Saturday - 2 mile evening jog with Melodie. Her first time going for a run in a while, and so Mel had to stop and walk quite a few times. I did planks while she caught her breath - 3 times a center plank for 1 min with hand planks on each side for 30-40 seconds each. Good workout! Then we stretched for 30 min after we got home.
