HAPPY WEDNESDAY EVERYONE!
Hope you had a great day! The week is almost over!
I need a break. I wish this weekend was going to be a relaxing weekend. To my dismay, the only full weekend I'm going to have to "relax" will be the last weekend in August. Time to tighten the reigns and hang on for the ride!

Results for MS 115
Today was our APFT. And, I failed! MISERABLY!
Funny thing is... I still get an "A" for perfect attendance! =) OH YEAH BABY!
Here are the results:
Push-ups: 26 (passed)
Sit-ups: 33 (failed... miserably!)
2 mile run: 22:40 (failed by 58 seconds... can you believe that?!?!) However, I did improve from the June 26 APFT. That time was 24:09.
I'm just happy that I completed it. So... yeah. I'm determined to run the 2 mile under 20 minutes by the end of this summer. (Training and running on my own.)
I'm going to start training for another 1/2 marathon. I don't know when I'm going to do another run, but I'd like to do another 1/2 before the end of the year is up. (Or, at least a 10K or 5K, or something to that effect.)
Anyway. Class is officially over. I'm still working out with the Major the rest of this week for kicks and giggles. Tomorrow we're running and Wednesday is circuit training! (I think I can enjoy the class without stressing over the exam.)
What have I learned and/or enjoyed from this experience?

- I enjoy working out by myself. Don't like other's with me. However, I do enjoy having to report my workouts to someone.
Cheers!

4th of July
J
Just updating this block with some of my favorite 4th of July pictures.
Lame, I know... I didn't take any pictures of my 4th of July celebrations. Well, actually I think I did... it was only of the parade though. (Which, of course, ROCKED!)
It's amazing how unpatriotic people have become. I didn't see one person stand any time the American Flag went by. (I would've stood if I were sitting, however, since I was standing, there you go.)
Thank you to ALL of the Veterans of every branch of service and in any capacity you've served.

Update on MS 115
Well, since completing the 1/2 marathon, can you blame me if I'm a little tooooooo exhausted to exercise? (Please say no!)
So, yesterday, I go to MS 115 (not a schedule class day, but a great day to work out and exercise with other people), and we end up doing Swiss Seats (w/ ropes) and also doing our APFT to find out where we are at physically for when we have our final on the 9th. I must say that I was highly impressed with myself that I jogged the entire 8 laps around the track WITHOUT stopping once! Now THAT is a HUGE improvement compared to when we first did the APFT back in April. I just had to keep counting down the number of times left around the track, like I did with the number of miles I left during the 1/2 marathon. When taking the actual APFT, I think I'm going to wear my headphones to keep me motivated. I should put a few songs back to back that equal my goal time, so THEN, I can pace and gauge myself that way. I think I should finish training that way too! Ingenious idea!
Here are the requirements and my current stats and future goal stats:
Requirement to get 300 points:
p/u = 50
s/u = 82
run = 15:54
6/26/08 Stats:
p/u = 27
s/u = 35
run = 24:09
07/05/08 Goal:
p/u = 40
s/u = 55
run = 21:00
07/09/08 Goal:
p/u = 45
s/u = 70
run = 20:00
07/14/09 Goal: (Absolutely last day to "make-up" the APFT)
p/u = 50
s/u = 82
run = 15:54 or at least 19:00 (Major Esplin indicated that he wants us females to get in under 20 minutes)
Pray for me! I'm going to need it!

Here are a few pictures of some pictures that were taken at Grandpa Rocks birthday. A nest was built in the front porch light of the Hinckley house. Good times! =)
Happy Birthday Grandpa Rock!
It was Grandpa Rock's birthday and here are a few of the pictures from his celebration.

Make-Up Explosion!
Funny story. Last night (Wednesday, June 18) I went into work at Da Pineapple Grill, and as I was waiting for my table to finish, Dave (a fellow co-worker) got a table of 3 girls. (I'm glad I didn't have them.)
Anyway, these three young ladies (well, girls) kept giving me the stink eye! I wanted to knock 'em one! I told Dave that his table kept giving me dirty looks and if they kept it up, I was going to crack them a good one. He laughed and made the following comment, of which made me the happiest female alive!
"Well, the reason why they're giving you a dirty look, is because they probably can't smile under all that make-up. I went to their table and when one of the girls looked up, I was like, 'whoa, what happened to her?', did her bag explode on her face or something? She had so much make-up on it was kind of scary."
That made my whole night! So beware of females giving you the stink eye, it's probably because they can't smile under all that make-up! =)
