Stay young, go dancing
I have this bad habit of keeping my exercise tracker on after I finish and get in my car. It really makes me look much faster than I actually am...
This is week 6 of the 9 week 5k training plan. I have one more run this week to do and it's 2 1/4 miles! No breaks! Ee! Today I did two ten minute runs with a 3 minute walk in between. Not quite a 10 minute mile yet. Though, 10:31 for the 2nd one. The mosquitoes are really killing me. Running with bug spray seems dreadful, but soon it might be necessary.
On another note, I'm so excited to go camping on the 4th of July!!! There's 11 or 12 of us going together.
Also I think I'm going to buy a new laptop this weekend. :D
PS. The neighbor's cat just tried to jump on the ledge of our window in a sideways hop. But there is no ledge, so he just fell down. Hilarious.

Running
A few days ago I did 3.2 miles in 37 minutes! That's pretty good considering I walked a lot of it (I think..). 30 minutes for a 5K is pretty good, so doing it in 37 and walking seems like I'm off to a good start.
Today I did 3.4 miles in 42 minutes. A lot of walking. Now I'm tired.
But next week looks even scarier:
* Jog 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes)
* Walk 1/8 mile (or 90 seconds)
* Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)
* Walk 1/4 mile (or 2-1/2 minutes)
* Jog 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes)
* Walk 1/8 mile (or 90 seconds)
* Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)

Week 3
Today was the first day of week 3 training.
90 seconds run/90 seconds walk
3 minutes run/3 minutes walk
90 seconds run/90 seconds walk
3 minutes run/3 minutes walk
I used to be able to run on the treadmill a full mile (about 10 minutes), but running outside is soo much harder. There's also a lot of mud that needs to be hopped around.

Makin cards & adventures
I've been making a lot of cards lately. I like when I actually have an occasion to make them for, like Mother's Day.
I've also been training for a 5K. Next week starts the 3rd week of training. I wouldn't say I like running now, but I dislike it less. It's sort of addictive. I wish that I didn't have to drive somewhere to go though. The road by my house has heavy traffic and lots of hills.
