I started off by doubling my jumping jacks to 100. I was a little surprised how much more intense numbers 90 to 100 were than any of the others. I guess that was a good change. I did all 100 of my push-ups, and I tossed in 10 squats and 10 lunges on each leg while holding two 15-pound dumbbells.<\/p>\n<p>I meant to try out a few new songs again today, but my phone found itself on repeat-one and actually repeated the same song 4 times. Sightsee M.C. got me through the first 2.5 miles at 6.2 mph, but then I was pretty wasted (not to mention sick of hearing the same song over and over). I walked for a couple minutes, then ran the last 1\/4 mile at 6.5 mph. It wasn&#8217;t impressive. It wasn&#8217;t even as good as I had hoped for, but at least it was a slight improvement over yesterday. And somehow it seemed pretty good in my head, considering today is normally a walking day.<\/p>\n<p>Jumping jacks: 100<br \/>\nPush-ups: 100<br \/>\nTime to mile 1: 9:44<br \/>\nTime to mile 2: 19:24<br \/>\nTime to mile 3: 30:38<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After my miserable showing yesterday, I was determined to do better today.
