We're at thirteen days now, and I know sometime within the first week we'll be doing our baseline test, which is a 1.5 mile run and how many sit-ups and push-ups we can do in a minute each. I've been running maybe...once a week? I know, I'm horrible. But I've been riding my bike too, and I think that's helping me. I just hate running thanks to an accident when I was a kid. So my knee is messed up and it really likes to protest sometimes.
But I'm going to get better! The whole point of the baseline is to see how you improve throughout the year, and I'd really like to do a lot better by the time we finish the ten months.
As for the sit-ups and push-ups...ehh. I have okay upper body strength thanks to working freight and merchandising at Kohl's, as well as carrying around my younger sister and niece for several years. I would be surprised if I did more than 20 push-ups though. And sit-ups just kind of annoy me. I mean, I can do more when someone is holding my feet down, but I don't like when people do that. Is that weird? I guess I'm weird. Those will be a lot easier to work on over the next two weeks though.
But two weeks! We're down to two weeks! Less than two weeks actually. Thirteen days seems so long yet so short at the same time. I have a good number of things that I need to get done, but I still feel like there's going to be a lot of extra time as well, and I hate not having anything to do when I'm preparing something. We'll just have to see how things go.
