Goals this month: running, flexibility (yoga and stretching), other exercise which may include anything and everything but walking (I will post minutes walked, but they won't count towards my total - too easy, and I do it for the fun of it, not for exercise).

Specific minute goals:
running 450 min/ any other exercise 450 min/ flexibility 800 min/ walking not counted

May 1 - 30 min stationary bike, 90 min Ashtanga Yoga class, (50 min walk) --> 0/30/90/(50) => 120
May 2 - 18 min run, 22 min run, 5 min squats, 5 min stretching, 55 min Yoga DVD, (50 min walk) --> 40/5/60/(50) => 105
May 3 - 45 min stationary bike, 3 min squats, 8 min stretching --> 0/48/8/(0) => 56
May 4 - 45 min run, 3 min squats, 5 min stretching, (40 min walk) --> 45/3/5/(40) => 53
May 5 - 60 min stationary bike, 4 min squats, 8 min stretching --> 0/64/8/(0) => 72
May 6 - 26 min run, 14 min skipping rope (1000 skips), 4 min squats, 30 min badminton, 20 min stretching, 40 min walk, 55 min walk --> 26/48/20/(95) => 94
May 7 - 75 min stationary bike, 5 min squats, 25 min stretching, (30 min walk) --> 0/80/25/(30) => 105


Week 1 totals: running: 111 - very good/ other exercise: 271 - very good/ flexibility: 217 - good/ (walking: 265)

May 8 - 23.5 min run, 7 min run, 10 min interval running, 5 min squats, 14 min stretching, 90 min Ashtanga Yoga class, (20 min walk, 50 min walk with the dog) --> 40.5/5/104/(70) => 149.5
May 9 - 1 h 20 min stationary bike, 4 min squats, 10 min stretching --> 0/104/10/(0) => 114
May 10 - none
May 11 - none
May 12 - 40 min stationary bike --> 0/40/0/(0)
May 13 -
May 14 - 25 min stationary bike --> 0/25/0/(0)


Week 2 totals: running: 40.5/ other exercise: 154/ flexibility: 124/ (walking: 70)

May 15 -
May 16 - 30 min walk --> 0/0/0/(30)
May 17 -
May 18 - 90 min Ashtanga Yoga --> 0/0/90/(0)
May 19 -
May 20 -
May 21 - 40 min hike --> 0/0/0/(40)


Week 3 totals: running: 0/ other exercise: 0/ flexibility: 90/ (walking: 70)

May 22 -
May 23 -
May 24 -
May 25 -
May 26 -
May 27 -
May 28 -


Week 4 totals: running: 0/ other exercise: 0/ flexibility: 0/ (walking: 0)

May 29 -
May 30 -
May 31 -


FORMAT => running/other exercise/flexibility/(walking)

25/88/20/(60) reads as => 25 min running, 88 min other exercise, 20 min flexibility, (60 min walking)

Running notes:
May 6 - (26 min) 3 lenghts, reversed format, 7:34, 16:34, 25:25
