Life on the funny farm

Memorial day weekend project

I'm in charge of crafts at VBS this year. Our room theme is Great Barrier Reed. Oriental trading was out of seashell garland, so I'm spending today making my own.

Success!

Only took seven attempts, bit I made it to the twenty minute mark!

Couch to 5K, Week 5, Day 3, Attempt 5

No picture.  I'm sure by now you've seen enough sweaty pictures of me.  Did 16 minutes of running, a minute and a half of walking, and then 2 and a half minutes of running, for a total 18 and a half minutes of running out of 20 minutes.  3 more attempts and I think I'll have it licked.

Well, that's a lovely photo. Ran 18 out of 20 minutes, though

Week 5, day 3, attempt 3

14-1/2 min of straight running, then some walk run intervals, estimating a total run time of 16-1/2 min. I predict it will take me 7-9 attempts to get through this step, but it's not the number of attempts that is important, it's accomplishing the goal

Week 5, day 3, attempt 2

Sometimes the timer on my iPod malfunctions. Today was one of those days. I know this because it said I ran 4/10's of a mile in one second. So I would have to guess my running time was comparable to Monday's.

By the way, since it was so humid out, the picture is me cooling off in front on the industrial sized fan in the greenhouse.

No title

Guess who got into a scrap last night and had to go to the vet this morning with a mangled ear?

Week 5, day 3, attempt 1

I was supposed to run 20 min straight. Yeah, right. Instead I ran 13 min straight, walked 4, and ran 3 more. It's going to take me a few tries to make it through this step. At least I smell good, I doused myself with vanilla perfume before I started to keep the buffalo gnats away
