Wednesday and an Assessment

It was a pretty good day for exercise - the 3.3 mile run in the morning and then some decent kickball in the evening. Man, when you have a good game and score you actually get to run around the bases and stuff. Felt like some exercise!

I need to figure out something to do today. I wanted to run this morning but ended up working instead. But I don't see a reason that I couldn't go later. It's another beautiful day today. My legs this morning actually are a little bit sore from the sprinting during kickball, lol. So maybe a slow longer run is what I need.

I did my wall pushups this morning. I think the next step will be to do them at an angle on the dining room table edge or something. (Have you started doing any pushups Casey? That's not a wagging finger asking, just curious) I really need to do more strength stuff - I am just so mushy and it's really starting to bother me. I need to get going on the lifting and especially core stuff. Maybe I should set some sort of goal with it - like be able to do x amount of pushups or crunches or something. I don't know - it's a hard thing to try to predict. The only thing I keep thinking is the stronger I am the better I'll be able to run and do well in the duathlons I want to do this season.
