Today marks the half way point of my cross training. I have improved my ability to do push ups, sit ups, and squats. I could barely do 10 when I started and now I am doing 100. But my running has not improved, I am a little disappointed by that. I am considering hiring a running coach for a few pointers.

Here is what I was suppose to do:

Run/Walk with a purpose for 40 minutes, with 5 push ups every 5 minutes.

Rode my bike to the park. .97 mi

Ran 5 min, 6 times 30 min 2.24 mi

30 push ups.

Rode home

I guess I didn't pay attention and see the 40 min time that I was suppose to do. :mad: Or I "conveniently" missed it and only worked for 30 min.

OK now its update time. I took measurements when I started and on Sunday.

Weight from:138 to:134

Neck from:13 to:13

Shoulders from:37 3/4 to:37 1/2

Chest from:37 to:36 3/4

Biceps from:11 3/4 to:11 1/2

Forearms from:9 1/2 to:9 1/2

Hips from:37 to:36 1/2

Belly from:36 1/4 to:35 1/2

Waist from:29 to:28 1/2

Thighs from:21 1/2 to:21 1/4

Calves from:14 3/4 to:14 3/4

So the big "loser" is a tie of 1/2 inch off the belly, hips and waist. I will take measurements again at the end.
