9. 4 mile walk outside. 1:11:47.
PPC: Rating = 9.5. Shockingly enough, I am not doing this challenge on the heavy bag. Although I do all my punching/kicking on bag, I will be not be doing the challenge on the bag so I can really focus on form.
FC: Rating = 9.0. I was smart enough to wear shoes. Neither of these are my favorites. I don’t get very low on either of these.
30DoCB: Rating = 7.5. Not as winded as when I did the other days but ouch on the plank jacks.
FWTRC: Rating = 7.0. Stats were just ok. It didn't feel too bad.
AoS: Rating = 7.5 Push-ups were lame again (4-3-3-2 = 12) I am not really improving. Shoulder taps were OK.
Boxing: Rating = 7.5. This was ok. I was pretty tired.
YWB: Rating = 9.0. I really liked this one.
Walk: Sunny and breezy. Seemed almost fall-ish.
Notes: Back to work today (which was mildly annoying). I was also really tired. A weird night without hockey but I guess I’d better get used to it because there’s not much hockey left.

Notes: A better day…for me at least. My dad had oral surgery. The result was a couple less teeth + stitches. He told me by text message since he couldn’t talk. He’s not having a good week.

2. Boxing: 20 minutes of speedbag/heavy bag (punching, kicking, strikes (knee, elbow, palm), back fist combos.
3. YWB: Gentle Yoga in Bed! | 30 Day Yoga Challenge | Day 24. Rating = 8.0.
4. Power Punch Challenge Day 5: 70 punches, 3 sets. 30 seconds active rest of march steps between sets Rating = 9.5.

6. From Walking to Running Challenge Day 17: 3 minute walk, 3 minute run. 4 sets. (24 min). Time: 24:02 , Dist: 1.80 mi., AHR: 160.
7. 5 mile walk outside. 1:30:45.
8. Zen Day 3: 12 minute yoga.
Boxing: Rating = 8.0. This was better than last Saturday. I felt a bit winded at the end.
FWTRC: Rating = 5.5. This got really hard. Interval 3 was really hard. I had to take it easy on interval 4.
Walk: Started out misty, ended up sunny. The cool breeze felt nice.
Zen: Rating = 7.0. I struggled with this on and had to modify. I couldn’t really hold the tree pose (even low tree at all). I hold my hands at heart sometimes instead of overhead because my arms (or is it my shoulders get tired) and the high lunge was a real problem, especially on my right side. My balance has really suffered from missing Yoga.
Notes: More rain but we did get out and walk. FWTRC was really rough today. I so regret giving up on my running. Ugh. Ditto for Yoga. My balance has really suffered. At least tonight was game one of the Stanley Cup Finals. The team I was rooting for won. I normally wouldn’t root for that team but I really dislike the other team.

"Keep fighting. Fortune will favor the patient and persistent."
You can still get back to running Dawn...when I was a runner (not an option anymore, dang it) the prevailing mantra was "finish line, not finish time", meaning completing the course meant more than how fast I covered it. Still have that one 5K medal I earned before that went completely south.

FWTRC: Time: 30:04 , Dist: 2:26 mi , AHR: 156 . Rating = 6.0. I spent of most of the run without music because the router crashed. But the intervals were decent.
BBA: Rating = 9.0. I really liked this a cool-down, even if Amy is a little enthusiastic for me. The stupid router crashed about 4 minutes in and I has to wait while Scott brought it back up.
YWA: Rating = 9.0. This is one of my favorites. I had a slight foot cramp during one of the pigeons.
Walk: We had to adjust our route to be closer to home when it looked the storms were rolling in.
Notes: Kind of a yucky day. Too busy at work and sad to see certain people moving in the wrong direction. Ugh. At least my intervals were decent on “the longest day”. For some reason Mondays are my best running days. Oh and the hockey was great.
Thank you for your encouragement @TakingBabyStepsBack. I used to run a few years back. Nothing too serious (my longest distance was 4 miles) but it got my through some tough times and gave me temporary relief from migraines (relieved I don't get those anymore). I got way from it when moved and attempted several times to get back into it. Hopefully this time I will be successful.

Hello 
Belated Congratulations on the challenges
I hope your dad is doing better
Catch those clouds and send them here. I love rainstorms, even if the weather is hot (though I would take cold weather if you have any)
As for everything else

9. 4 mile walk outside. 1:11:54.
Zen: Poor focus for both meditations.
SC: Rating = 7.5. I kept messing up the order of the last 2 exercises. I had to hold on for single leg deadlifts.
FWTRC: Rating = 6.0. Not great stats. Felt hard.
AoS: Rating = 7.0. Push-ups were lame again (4-3-2-3-2 = 14). Shoulder taps were OK. Side plank rotations were torture. I had nothing left in the tank by the time I got to punching.
YWB: Rating = 8.0. Relaxing. I dozed at the end.
Walk: Cool and cloudy.
Notes: So, the best part of today was watching the SCF. The team I was rooting for won the game and the championship. The rest of the day was tough. Work just going to keep getting harder. Mondays are usually the best days for running but not this time. And Arms of Steel was brutal with the plank rotations. Ugh.
