I started the blog with lots of enthusiasm but haven’t posted in a while. I brought the car in for service and complements of the dealership’s free wifi, I’m able to post from here this AM.
I got an ‘A-‘ in my first class which was some validation for me that I’m not totally crazy for going back to school with a bunch of 18 year olds. However, the academics doesn’t seem so daunting as much as the physical requirements. Fitness testing including the mile run begins next semester along with aquatics and more advanced movement courses. In the fall is gymnastics and adventure education. Gymnastics seems a bit daunting, adventure education sounds somewhat fun and interesting.
I’ve started training for the mile on the treadmill at the gym, it’s a little cold and slippery outside (especially today) to go outside. So, my goal is to get the mile in less than 10 min. Right now, I’m at 14:20 but I’m increasing my speed everyday; this is one of the nice things about the treadmill. I do, however, find it very tedious and boring, I’d much rather bike or use the elliptical. However, I have to do it so I am. If anyone has any tips/suggestions for training for the mile, I’m all ears.
Since the beginning of November, I’m down about 20 lbs. which is fantastic. Since it’s the holiday season and all, we got a will and the wii fitness. Those things really are amazing, the technology is incredible. According to my wii fitness level, I’m 48 y/o and my mii profile looks like the ‘Newman’ character from Seinfeld. This is quite annoying and am working on changing it.
Happy New Year everyone.
