Ran my couch to 5k #1 out of 3 for the week.

Ran my couch to 5k, went for a bikeride with the sweety and did sets of pullups/chinups and mills with the clubbell.

Run #2 of 3 for this weeks couch to 5k.

Ran my couch 2 5k program. Been slacking off lately, but hauling, fishing, and pulling over 24,000 feet of cable has been plenty of exercise for me lately. Today though I was only certifying the cables, so I was pretty much a switchboard monkey.

Trying to stick with it.

Today I went on the second run of three for this weeks couch 2 5k program.

Next on the agenda is bodyweight excersizes.
Todays focus: abdominal muscles.

Meals
breakfast oatmeal and applesauce
lunch leafy salad with tuna
snacks yogurt and milk
dinner rice stirfry vegetables and salmon

I have a mystery cramp in my right arm, so I avoided arm workouts today and focused mainly on legs.

began couch to 5k week 1 part 1
3x30 sit ups
vinyasa yoga 20 minutes
lunges 2x10 per leg

Some baseline numbers

Baseline numbers so far.
Body fat % 17
1min max or to failure
max pull ups 14
max sit ups 40
max push ups 22
numbers to beat are
Body fat %12
max pull ups 19-20
max sit ups 56
max push ups 30

So far these are my numbers to meet or beat. I will post more and organize them into a table as I get them.

Today I built some suspended handles for my pull up bar. I've also recently acquired a low weight DIY club bell. My new running/sport shoes are scheduled to arrive on Monday and I have been looking into a membership at the YMCA so Bunny and I can use the racquetball courts. I've also been working on a yoga routine. If I can maintain a lowered portions diet I think my goals could be realistic.

My Goals for the summer vacation.
--Perform scheduled Couch to 5k runs
--Reduce bodyfat by 3-5% via fat loss or healthy tissue addition
--Increase flexibility by 15%
--Increase max reps with Club and Kettle bells and Body Weight by 25-40%

To better reach these goals I'll need to get a baseline of my bodyfat, flexibility, and reps. That is my goal for tomorrow.

Start of Something

This evening Bunny and I went for a bike ride along Cheyenne's Greenway. We explored the northwest section for about a mile and a half in either direction, before it got dark enough to call it quits. We talked about making our weekly fitness more planned and regular, and these bike rides together may become a twice a week event.

I've also decided to emulate my friend Linus in his keeping of a health blog. I think this will help me to keep track of my progress and to motivate me in working towards better health. I realize I need to improve not only my physical health, but also my emotional, mental and social health. To that end I will come up with a list of goals and rules to follow and keep track of them here on this blogerific blog.
