Half Marathon Madness!!!

With less than a week to go before my half I have been rocking the runs I go on.  I visited Eagan which was not devistated by winter storms in April so I was able to run a good amount.  My runs were around 6-7 miles with a few gigantic hills.  I also got to bust out my rollerblades and do the same runs but with wheels.  Not being an avid rollerblader (I’ve gone about eight times) I had a series of small heart attacks as I went careening off the path and into the woods after these large hills.  Since it has been warming up my activity level has also increased.  If I don’t go running I play football, or soccer outside.  And if being outdoors isn’t in the forecast I usually do a series of pushups and sit-ups that I got online.  It goes as follows.

 10 shoulder length pushups

10 sit-ups

10 wide pushups

10 situps

10 triangle pushups

15/15 side to side sit ups

you are supposed to repeat this cycle ten times without stopping but that won’t be happening in the near future.  I can do about five or six cycles before collapsing and watching TV.
