Ragamuffin Top Week 4

This week was packed with studying, writing, homework, etc., but I did the best I could to exercise, so here ya go!

Sunday: Rested

Monday: Rested

Tuesday: Ran to class

Wednesday: Ran to class in a snow storm!

Thursday: Danced in the morning to wake up (I was studying for a test)

Friday: Rested

Saturday: Ran 2 miles in 20 minutes. Yay!

This is me listening to my pump up songs.

Ash Wednesday

Here’s my formula for Lent: – + + = x

Confusing, eh? Well it basically means subtraction plus addition equals multiplication. Usually I just take away something for lent, but I decided to add something as well this year. Thus, I think subtracting something habitual in my life and adding something good in my life will have an exponential effect.

So here’s the plan: I am giving up eating after 9 PM for lent (subtraction). I am also going to spend time in the Bible and prayer each night (addition). I will keep you posted on how this spiritual discipline goes.

How ’bout you? What are you doing for Lent? Any tips on how to devote more time to God?

Won’t Back Down

Well I won’t back down, no I won’t back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won’t back down

Gonna stand my ground, won’t be turned around
And I’ll keep this world from draggin me down
Gonna stand my ground and I won’t back down

Hey baby, there aint no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I won’t back down.

Well I know whats right, I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin me around
But I’ll stand my ground and I won’t back down

Hey baby there aint no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I won’t back down
No, I won’t back down

Ragamuffin Top Week 3

February 15 – February 21 2009:

Sunday: Rested

Monday: Ran 2 miles in about 20 minutes

Tuesday: Ran 2 miles 20 min 54 sec

Wednesday: Ran 3 miles in 31 min 29 sec

Thursday: Rested

Friday: 3 miles in 28 min 19 sec! Woohoo!

Saturday: 0.5 miles in 4 min 59 sec

As you can see, this week went pretty well; however, I didn’t keep up with the Cardio Max and Powersculpt DVDs. It’s been hard enough keeping up with just the running, let alone the DVDs, so I might just do the DVDs 2-3 times a week.

Also, here’s my progress report on Nike+.

Ragamuffin Top Week 1

Jan 31-Feb 7 2009:

Saturday: Cardio Max level 2–this DVD tried to kill me! Haha, oh well.

Sunday: Power Sculpt level 2, ran 1 mile in about 9 minutes, walked 0.5 miles

Monday: 17 minutes – CardioMax; lots of walking

Tuesday: Rested

Wednesday: I ran to class because I was running late. I need to plan out my time better, but at least I got my exercise for the day!

Thursday: Rested. Wednesdays and Thursdays almost seem too busy to work out since there are too many classes on these days, so I’m gonna try to finish more homework earlier in the week so I will have time on these days.

Friday: Ran 2 miles in 18 min 46 sec! Walked: 0.5 miles. Yay! I’m getting in shape! Gradually.

Saturday: Rested (I had work from 0600 to 1700, so I was exhausted)
