Three Months Ago - What A Difference

3 months ago I started really working. That week I did:

2/15 - W1D1 (20-30 minute workout)
2/17 - W1D2 (20-30 minute workout)
2/18 - Walked 2 Miles (took 45 minutes)
2/19 - W1D3 - 45 Minutes Strength Training
2/21 - Walked 1/2 Mile and Stretch - having a hard time walking/exercising through the soreness.
2/22 - Rest

My baseline was:

Plank: Held for 15 Seconds
Wall Sit: Held for 25 Seconds
Pushups: 10 (struggled)
Squats: 16
Crunches: 20
Running: Couldn't finish 3 minutes

This week I did (or have planned to do):

May 17 - Rest
May 18 - Ran 2 Miles, Walked 1 Mile - 50 Minutes
May 19 - Ran 2 Miles, 50 Minutes of Strength Training - 90 Minutes
May 20 - Ran 2 Miles, 45 Minutes Strength Training, Ran 1 More Mile - 90 Minutes
May 21 - Strength Training 60 Minutes, Run 2 Miles 30 Minutes - 90 Minutes
May 22 - Rest
May 23 - Strength Training/Cardio - 60-90 Minutes

And we did my baseline today and I have SO improved:

Plank: Held for 1:15 Seconds
Wall Sit: 3 Minutes
Pushups: 50
Squats: 56
Crunches: 100 (but I do 500 here and there)
Running: I can run 3 miles

What a difference in 3 months!!! If I can do it, anyone can!

Way to go with your strength training! That is impressive (and very motivating!) Art Camp will be at Highland in the upstairs elementary classrooms. I think the preschool will end up in the yellow room and the elementary will be in the blue room
