Jogged for 2, Walked for 3:30
YAY! TWO MINUTES! I have officially doubled my time from when I first started jogging! Woo-hoo!!!
*would like to demonstrate a happy dance, but cannot, so will let Kirby do it for her:*

Well, for my official stats, I jogged for 2 minutes, walked for 3:30. I went 2.005 miles, burned 256 calories, and it took me 45:30.
This was a hard jog. It was hard to breathe tonight for some reason! Darn asthma!! I tried to overcome it by adding on 30 seconds, but I'm afraid I'm gonna have to add on a full minute instead. But, as I keep telling myself, you gotta do what you gotta do, and it's not a race, right? :)
Also, after I was over, I did three sets of 30 crunches and three sets of 5 push-ups. I friggin HATE push-ups. I even start shaking when I get into the position. All I can do is what is known as "girl" push-ups, but I would love to be able to do full push-ups one day. My husband can do the whole one-handed push-ups and the push-up-and-clap-inbetween trick. Showoff. :P So I had him look at my form while I struggled through one of my sets so that I would know the few I was doing were right. He said they were good, which was kind of relieving to me. Maybe a new goal to do a few push-ups after I run, and get rid of the bat wings? :) We shall see!

Great job!!! Don't worry about having to pace yourself. In training for running, I've heard it said that "slow and steady is all you've got!" Hahaha!
And dag yo!! I can't believe I did so many push-ups!! It's that blasted weak upper-body strength that we've been blessed with ...! In drumline, I got made fun of SO MUCH because of my lack of push-ups. So when I became section leader, I made everyone run laps. lol! But, yeah, we can have good form and everything, but just the execution of actually DOING a push-up is something to behold. lol Best of luck!! I may be right alongside you in trying to achieve that goal. :)
All right! YAY two minutes!!! and double yay for push-ups! I totally wouldn't have done that after a run, I do admire you for that. Like you, I hate them. :(
Keep truckin'!
P.s. the kirby dance was adorable.
*YOU did so many push-ups! lol Didn't mean to brag ... :p
Yes! Kirby dance!
Woot for doubling your time! You are gonna turn into a fitness nut :)
