Bike ride
We took the kids to a nearby school for a bike ride yesterday...Spencer is getting fast enough that I have to jog to keep up.

Get fit Challenge
Your fitness challenge(s) for the week: Sore muscles...lesson learned, stretch
Your food challenge for the week: eating out. I need to eat at home more and pack my lunch for work
How well did it go: It's going well...I completed one week of c25k and one week of sit ups. Also a 10 mile bike ride with Will
Failures and slip-ups: I was so sore from my squat test that I wasn't actually able to squat again until today. I did 125 squats in my first test and figured that 200 isn't much of a challenge. I re-tested today with 2 5# weights and did 73.
Weekly challenge wisdom: The hardest part is getting going...don't think...just do it.
Advice to fellow GET FIT members: Read the article I tweeted today...It's a good one
Goals this week: I will start from week three this week on the squat challenge and continue the situp challenge with week two. This week on c25k...Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 90 seconds of jogging and two minutes of walking for a total of 20 minutes...three times this week.
I may have found my goal race. there is an event called Bark in the Park and it's a 5k to support the local humane society. I plan to collect money and run for Daisy and the man who took care of us on the day we lost her. More to come. the race is the second week of May.

New swing set and haircuts
So I promised the kids a new Swing set when we moved. It's not as cool as the old one but no emergency room visit so we'll call it a win.

Get fit Challenge
I'm going to give this a try...
shutter_momma.com is doing this git fit challenge. I haven't really worked out in a long while and am thinking that now's a good time to start. the weather here is nice enough to exercise outdoors and I am really excited to start riding my bike and hiking. I am still trying to work up to running a 5K just once...maybe this is the time it will work. I started the couch to 5k program again today. I am also going to do a situp and squat challenge...they say i will be able to do 200 of each in 6 weeks.
I'll be answering these questions each Saturday...
