10.2 easy miles at 6am in the blustery flurries.  I guess we got two inches that melted by noon.  AP=  8:39.  I was VERY nauseated the entire run so I am glad I even made it thru.  Too much sugar at work, treats everywhere you go.  My stomach is in rebellion.  Glad I have running to set it straight.  After my run I finally got back to core.  Got off schedule at Thanksgiving and got out of the habit that wasn't quite a habit yet.  So back a week in pushups cause I am THAT weak.  Did 10, 6, 4, 4, 6 on the ball (pushups), shoulder presses, triceps (two types), lateral raises, biceps (two types).  2 reps of 12 each.  Followed by crunches on the ball.  Did planks last night: front 1 minute, sides 30 seconds each then repeat.  I was so nauseated so it was hard to hold my stomach in.  My goal is 2 minutes.  I think I can do it with an adrenaline rush.  Done for the day.  Oh my Ford failed emissions-- a whopping 771 dollars to fix it.  Merry Christmas.  What luck.  PM: Held a plank for 2:08.  Main issue left big toe sore.  Did this barefoot.

nice job with the plank! and nice miles today as well -- although sorry about the nausea.

Allie-- I guess I need a loftier goal. I just did a barefooted plank for 2:08. Maybe I am not doing them right. But I think so. I worry about overstetching my achilles but that didn't seem to bother me today-- my foot was the problem (big toe bunion side). I think I could have held it longer. I am working up to it. I have broad shoulders so I think I have an advantage. I am not at all strong, just to make that clear. My husband does pushups effortlessly but his planks were dreadful, he could barely hold on for 30seconds and he was shaking a ton. I on the other had struggle with push ups but getting better. Odd don't you think. long comment sorry.

well, i am terrible at both push ups and pull ups. but i like the plank (no, i really don't like it...but i do).

anyway, great job. you will be at 5:00 soon enough!
