First off, does anyone find it weird how cemetery is spelled? It feels like it should be pronounced seh-meh-terr-ee rather than seh-meh-tare-ee.
Anyways, cemetery road is almost an entire mile... one way. My route involves me going to the end of cemetary road and back. While that doesn't sound like much to some of you, it gets kind of boring and takes more time than my other routes.
This route is good for endurance.
I have logged this route today on my MapMyRun. I really like that site. It's great for keeping track of such exercise stuff AND I get to see what my friends are doing in regards to walks, jogs, and bike rides.
I actually have a fitness fanatic that I follow on there and she logs almost every day. Way more than I do. It's awesome to see because it reminds me to get out and go.
Stay Awesome!

Frisbee
So normally my weekend workouts I've decided will involve yoga. And todays did, it honestly did. Just like 5 minutes this morning, but it did.
The bulk of my weekend exercise? I went out and played Frisbee. This may start being a thing that happens a lot.
The reasoning for this? If it's sunny and beautiful out on a weekend that means Darrel is home and we both want to go outside and we both love Frisbee. I have two frisbees. One is heavier (the one we used today) and the other is lighter.
Last time we played frisbee, we broke Darrel's frisbee, might have something to do with us using the heavier one this time, simply due to the fact that it's also more flexible.
I highly, highly recommend adding frisbee as part of your exercise regimen. Find a field and a friend or two and throw it. The only rules is that you have to try to catch it, that means running and jumping. And if all of you are just too good that you can all throw straight at each other and catch it with ease, aim over their head on purpose or to the side.
Or get a whole bunch of people and play ultimate frisbee.

Tennis Warm-Up Jumps and Minute Sprints
I'm glad I didn't delete this blog. It means I can use it for gym class and actually explain to people the whole workout aspect. Huzzah!
So for 9/4/14 I did a series of Minute Sprints.
Minute sprints are when you choose a basic activity, such as curlups or pushups, and do them continuously for one minute. After each minute I give myself a minute of rest.
Because I'm lame today and spent too much time on the interwebs I'm only doing ten minutes worth of workout today.
It looks like this:
1. Tennis Jumps
2. Breathe
3. Curlups
4. Breathe
5. Pushups
1-5 two times
Some of you may not know what Tennis Jumps are, probably because that's not the right term for them, but Tennis Jumps are short jumps back and forth, up and down, and side to side.
