Sandwich and coffee. I’m sorry, #noexcuseschallenge. I’m trying to fix my sleep schedule.

Great workout :) My butt muscles are cramping. Jump squats (20) Jump lunges (20) Single leg squats (5 each) Frog burpees (20) Push up rows (10) Chin ups (I DID THREE ALL BY MYSELF) Tricep dips (15) Do the above times three. Aaaand suicides: Three separate distances First round forward sprint, back pedal Second round side shuffle Third round forward sprint all the way Do the above times three. Yeah, I’m tired. In other news, Wesley is coming to yoga with me tomorrow! Sunrise yoga! He’s gonna get owned! But doesn’t know it yet! :D And I have a stomach ache, so I’m going to shower and sleep. I think it’s because I ate too much cheese recently. Dairy. Bad.

Pre 5 k with Chris @ frombulktohulk!!!!!!!! *Edit: So, a couple things: I did not win fastest survivor. I ran the 5K in 31:49 with Jackie. My bib number was 13. Chris came and supported us, even though he couldn’t run. He is such a funny and charismatic guy, I can’t wait to try out his food someday ;) You should follow Chris. I felt like I was dying on the end of the first lap into the second, because I sprinted the first quarter mile along with everyone else who was running. And then Jackie and I slowed to our 10 minute mile pace. *Lesson duly noted.* I finished! And slowed for water breaks, but didn’t give up :D It’s officially the second race I’ve participated in! It was cold. You should follow Chris. ;)

// Uh YEAH. Like this post if you’re proud of me doing TWO unassisted pull ups.

My goal of doing even just one unassisted pull up has been accomplished!

SCORE!

Next goal: Five unassisted pull ups.

Yeah, even I think I&#8217;m wearing a little too much purple. 3 miles, a little under 30 minutes. *Edit: half times, with actual measurements 1.6 miles out, 15:04 1.6 miles back, 16:07 I learned something valuable today: You run faster if you pick up your feet and breathe simultaneously. Who knew?

Jackie&#8217;s comment on this photo: &#8220;Working hard?&#8221; Drinking green tea to keep me awake. Need 9 pages by the end of tonight. Can&#8217;t procrastinate. Because tomorrow starts half marathon training, and I don&#8217;t have any excuses. Well, I can&#8217;t have any excuses&#8230;
