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.

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.
