Mile Run

So in personal fitness yesterday we re-ran the mile, and i ran it alot faster than i normally did. My previous time was 8:59 and my new time is 8:24. I'm pretty excited for such a time drop...Im gonna keep bringing that time down!!!

Recent Exercising

Yesterday we did the workout Ralph in personal fitness. Ralph is the simplest W.O.D. ever. All it requires you to do is 50 burpees for time. The warm-up for the workout was to do 3 rounds of 50 jumping jacks, 400m run, and 25 sit-ups and a samson. It was a pretty good workout, my time was 4:02....I think i could have done a little better if i just try harder.

Today for a W.O.D. in personal fitness i did the same workout as ralph except with body squats for time.
I did some walking and running over the weekend, I ran 2.5miles on the treadmill at the ymca. and i walked to and from my girlfriends house like 5 times. I would say she lives around a 1/4 mile away....

Final Countdown

The final countdown is a W.O.D. made of only two different exercises. Burpees and Box-Jumps. The Order in which you preform the exercises is where it gets interesting. You do 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1, or 10 Box-Jumps, and 10 Burpees. Then 9 Box-Jumps, and 9 Burpees. Then 8 of each and so on....

It was an interesting W.O.D. for sure. I enjoyed  the fast pace agility needed to get this workout done as fast as possible. I'm looking forward to the workout im doing next period. I don't know  what were going to be doing but i hope it is a weight lifting exercise.

Food and dieting

I have been trying to keep up with my campaign of eating healthy. Recently i had so bad choices in my diet, but i have also had some really good choices too. On race day last Sunday i had an omelet with whole wheat toast on the side. Later that day i had a banana before the race, and then an iced coffee after the race. For dinner that day i had a plate of Chinese food at the buffet near my house.

The next day i had cereal for breakfast before school. For lunch a roast beef sandwich, and for dinner i had chicken and asparagus with mashed potatoes.

Yesterday i had some buttered toast for breakfast, and another roast beef sandwich form the cafeteria, and for dinner i had pizza at the California Pizza Kitchen in Boston because i went into the city to see The Doors with Ray Manzerak and Bobby Krieger, I had a lot of fun.

Weight and Height

I am feeling good about my race yesterday. I had fun at the race. I can't wait to do the turkey gobble wobble 5k road race on Thanksgiving Day. The race yesterday was very intimidating in many ways, it had long straight aways, and massive inclines on the hills. I still enjoyed the race though. I feel like i haven't had enough races to quit, so i am definitely going to have to sign up for some more road races, and keep training on the track.

5k Run......

Hey just wanted to talk about the 5k road race i ran earlier around 1 o'clock.  It went pretty well, the course was awful though. Too many hills and turns. I was having a hard time with the hills and dealing with all of the thinking of slowing down and speeding up with everyones pace. I tried to set my own pace but i just couldn't. My time was 37:28. I was hopping for a time aorund 30min. I am happy that i ran the 5k, i think i will def have to do another race soon.....

I am getting ready for dinner with my grandparents...time to hit the buffet!!!!

5k run

Hey just wanted to say i am so excited to run my first 5k race on Sunday. The race is only 10 min away from my house, and it starts at 1:00. I think its going to be a good run, i think i will do good towards the beginning and i think if i pace myself, and focus on my breathing, i will do fine.

I am so sore from the last couple of days of exercising. Yesterday i went to the YMCA after school to do some weight lifting, and a little bit of cardio too. I went from running a mile on the treadmill to doing some cross-fit exercises, and then power lifting. I did dead lifts into a clean and squat; 5 sets of 5 reps. After i did the cleans, i did 5 sets of push-press.
