Planks –

One of the goals for June is to be able to hold a plank for 90s.  Wednesday I was able to hold it for 60s and it dang near killed me.  My whole body was shaking the last 5 seconds.  Thursday I decided to go for 60s again, and I did it TWICE.  Holy moly there was sweat dripping off my nose the second set. 

The good news – longest I had held a plank previously was 45s. 

The bad news – I still need to add another 30s onto it.  Ugg!

I didn’t try my pushups either day because I had lifted arms and they were pretty tired.  Maybe I will give them a try this weekend and see how many I can push out.

Today I am taking the day completely off, not even walking at lunch.  This weekend I am doing what I consider a mini Goofy.  10K Saturday followed by a half marathon Sunday.  The 10K is free thanks to my friend’s work, and I am just going to hang back with her the whole way.  Not push it and just get in the miles.  Sunday’s half marathon is one that has haunted me the past two years.  I have gotten a COMBINED total of 3 hours of sleep the night before this race.  I have run a 2:13 in 2011 dead tired after a late night volleyball tournament and a 2:09 in 2012 hungover after a baby shower getting zero minutes of sleep. 

Goal 1 – get at least 6 hours of sleep Saturday night.

Goal 2 – run under a 2:09. 

Neither of which should be difficult, but ya never know.
