  1. SO, true to Molly's email, I do like being held accountable for my scores. Because that helps me care about them more. I actually think about this motivation thing a lot: is it better to be motivated as part of a team, or as an individual, for yourself? My motivation definitely comes from both of these, and also has a component of antagonist-motivation - any time someone says i can't do something, that makes it a lot more rewarding to do it.

    Anyway, I'm not proud of these scores, except for the run time, since my long runs are at a pretty easy pace.

    Situps: 37; 37
    Pushups (ughhhh i used to be ok at these, man, i need to catch the eff up): 16;16
    Air squats: 31;36

    Run time: 23:58 (course was 3.00 miles, but it was a moderately hilly one around Hanover - I was pretty pleased with my just-barely sub-eight mile time).

    So. Going to work on that strength. Pullups are still ok though!

  3. Situps 33 both times, Pushups 25, 21, but I looked at the ground instead of looking up.

    I haven't done the 3 mile thing yet because I did my hair and couldn't sweat this weekend. I meant to run on the treadmill after work, but then Bubba had to go get his friend who was in an accident, so I ran home from work instead since I didn't have a car. But I did over 7 miles in under and hour, so I was pretty happy with that. I'll post my 3 mile time tomorrow. And I'll do squats.
