Team Effort

     Emily has actually decided to start working out with me again! She had a Raider challenge for JROTC last weekend and I think it sparked something in her. She said her goal for the summer is to get stronger and to run more. 

We've jogged twice this week. We didn't go yesterday because it was raining and I'm just not that die hard. Today we did an ab workout. She had texted me this workout that she came up with a couple of days ago. She said I could do it along with her if I wanted and I, of course, said "Absolutely!" 

     When she got home from school I asked if we were working out. She looked totally disengaged and mumbled we would do it later. I could tell she didn't want to, but I gave her some time and told her "Let's get this done". She complained of a stomachache the entire time, but she got through it and I'm proud of her. We only did one round but I told her we would work up to 3 rounds. I'm going to be totally honest; this was tough for me. Just like the jogging; I'm once again, a beginner. You can giggle if you want, I don't care. I know I'll crawl my way back to fitness. Here's the workout that she came up with.

30 crunches

1 minute tall plank

30 high knees

30 jumping jacks

30 mountain climbers

30 bicycle crunches

1 minute elbow plank

30 Russian twist

     And that was it. That humble little workout made me say bad words and have reflux. I'm not sure if we're jogging or doing this again tomorrow. She had originally said she wanted to do both, but she may be reconsidering lol. I'll also jot down our run times here too, just to keep track of them. I don't have any exact measurement on the distance, I'm going to guess, at most, half mile. We jog to the end of the powerlines and back. It's uphill, downhill, soft loose sand and gravel. 

FIRST RUN:

Me: 11:47; Stopped about 3 times to rest.

Em: 12:30

SECOND RUN:

Me: 12:14; Stopped twice to wait for Em but kept jogging in place.

Em: 12:44
