Training for a Belt Buckle

Walked the dog to the Post Office and back.   My ankle actually seems happier in the Five Fingers than in shoes.  

Paul and I at work started week 6 of the 100 pushup challenge and decided we are not enjoying it at all anymore.  We will be doing push-ups - but not as seriously as that program. (C'mon - started out with a set of 45, then 55, then 35 - at that point we quit and there were 2 more sets).

After work I walked 5 miles. Stopped at the gym and did 10 minutes on the torso cardio machine, then 10 minutes on the moving stairs machine.  45 minutes of upper body strength training. Walked home and ate dinner.

Ran 4 miles after work.  I had no energy whatsoever - don't know if I was tired, adjusting to heat, or what.  Ankle does good with the brace on.  It just hurts sometimes during the day when I don't brace it.

Tried a new exercise from the Biggest Loser Simple Swaps.  Take a deck of cards and shuffle it.  Diamonds = pushups, Hearts = lunges/squats, Spades = Reverse Crunches, Clubs = Crunches.  Face cards = 10 reps.  Aces = 1 minute break.  Turn over one card at a time and do the number of reps and assigned exercise.  Total time spent < 20 minutes.  

3 miles running on the treadmill at UVU at the What Women Want convention.

6.25 miles running around Wheeler Farm this afternoon. 1.5 miles walking the dog.
