Fitness Challenge 2>
Shuttle: 10:15; Situps: 100; Pushups: 46; Height: 20; Mile: 6:22 (splits: 1:29, 1:38, 1:38, 1:35, so I need to keep up the pace on my 2nd and 3rd laps). The weak link keeping me from a perfect score this time was situps, of all things. That can be easily fixed if I practice before the test.
Last time's results: situps (straight hands over kneecaps) in 2min = 126, pushups (no more than 4s rest btwn) in 2 min = 51, vertical jump = 17in, mile run = 6:29... definitely could've pushed harder... next time... quarter splits = 1:31, 1:40, 1:41, 1:37
... so my situps and pushups were a bit disappointing this time. those things can be easily fixed, though. the improvement in the mile's a good sign. that one's usually harder to change. the vert jump can depend a lot on how the "your height" is measured, with arm extension or not, etc.

FAITH:
Usually for ulty, I try to incorporate a "thing I learned today." How much more important is it to remember and to continue applying a spiritual or personal "thing I learned today?" So thought process for today: "my head hurts. i don't want to study. this stinks. i'm not worrying, though i'm not doing the opposite of it, which is finding joy in this. this is pain. how do you find joy in this? hmm... in knowing i'm doing work for God's glory. it's like when i feel good amidst pain while running xc, knowing it's helping my team win points, or bearing the cold on the way to help out a friend. ok. let's keep working."

Broadmead Ulty> all-star guests from Wicked came. Focus on hip movement rather than disc movement when marking. Stack closer. Don't inch into the open side. Sometimes the best thing you can do it wait to let those who are supposed to be cutting a chance to cut. Raph does craazy-long layout demos. Cut my thigh trying to do a much shorter one.

Run to Mercer Mall to get replacement zipper for the fencing jacket, shampoo, KS binder. Took many walking breaks. Haven't' run in a month. But maybe it's just soreness from fencing lunges and last evening's practice. I think it's being out of shape, though. I've been working on fast twitch to the detriment of my slow twitch.

Bye Beth.
