updatish

Kate! I love you very much. I watched Brick last night for the first time since high school. I enjoyed it even more than I did the first time I saw it. Keep up with me now. I miss you and can't wait to see you next time I am out in California.

Things are going well here and I am quite excited about the future. This week and last I have gone to a quaker meeting and it has been extremely rewarding. I even got to meet a general surgeon who was educated at JHU and then taught there and at Brown and is now at University of MD. Life is a funny thing. I am looking forward to learning more and working out more. I thought I would post this to our little blog...I didn't get a chance to write up the third day, but I will soon. All my best to you and Ben, my lovely soul sistah.

Workout day 1 Arms
10 push ups
1.2 mile run
push-ups (triangle, normal, wide) 10 each
Indian Run
Lie down on ground, jump up and touch four objects/trees get back as fast as you can.
line up in order
Do the same thing and touch four different objs/trees
line up in order, 1st= 10 push-ups 2nd=20 3rd=30 etc. Team mates that finish first can help their partner out
Indian run to another location
find bench or curb but something more elevated is good: do calve dips 50 each. If you fall the whole team will have to do a make up exercise (pushups). You can hold on to eachother and keep yourselves from falling.
Indian run again, bring it in and do situps, 100 as a team no more than twenty at a time. If you have an odd number the third person does supermans while the other people do situps. Rotate.
Next pick a point and run around it as fast as you can, meanwhile your partner is doing pushups. 100 pushups total as a team, the faster you run the less your partner has to do.
Indian run back. Pause for some more raised pushups 20 each.

Run back to start as a team. Indian style. If you need a break take one, if your team is capable you can carry your teammate a set distance to give him/her a break. Sprint at end (if capable) Always circle back to the last person in the line to bring in the team.
Stretch. Hoo yah. Drink a lot of water and get to bed early.

Short warmup run 5-10 minutes
Jog to tennis courts/field with line markers

If you finish first and other members are still going take a quick jog around the tennis courts.

Next long jump across two tennis courts. Try to do it in as few jumps as possible.
Now sprint at 50% across half the tennis courts (3), then 75% across the second half 75% back then 100% the rest of the way crash into the fence!
move out,
stop at a wall and do chair position against the wall holding it as long as you can
