Workout 2 consists of Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.
Now I know my expensive running outfit was worth the money.. on a day like today I never would have had the courage to go without proper protective clothing.

This weather report fails to mention - it's raining - puddle raining! The kind we've been waiting for through all this dastardly cold, the kind of rain that soaks the ground.. and I ran in it this morning.
The back is still a little tender, but the running doesn't affect it, it's the bending.. or should I say, bending over and lifting a child, or bending over to put a child to bed! That's what causes pain.
While it's not part of my workout - it still counts, I mowed 1/3rd of the lawn yesterday. And part of it Elias was on my back.
And while I'm talking about me, I'll just add in a few other personal journal notes. My Hebrew is coming along. I've finally mastered the vowels, and can read any word now. That seems great, however just because I can read it doesn't mean I know it's meaning. I've been working through Trent's My First Hebrew Primer and I'm in chapter two. It gives lots of practice exercises per chapter, so not only am I reading, I'm writing too. I can now find a Book in the Hebrew Bible. I was most impressed to see Trent reading the Torah portion in Hebrew on Saturday instead of reading it from the English. He wasn't reading aloud, but following along as the reader at the bimah was reading. I can't wait to get to that stage!
One step at a time, I'll get fit. One step at a time I'll become fluent in Biblical Hebrew

OH MY! I thought I'd take some "Before" pictures to compare back and see how much my body has changed as I get fit. I'm so embarrassed. I knew I was out of shape, but my mind though I looked better than this! oh, and I AM holding in my stomach.
Hey! You're doing HIIT training too! That is so cool. And whilst you don't think you look much, I think you look like a lovely mummy! And that's a beautiful thing- the motherly love that shines from a face is worth more than toned muscles. But it's also good to get fit, strong and healthy too. :)
Oh, I didn't realise you were teaching yourself Hebrew- you really are into self discipline- probably much father along than I am LOL.
I agree. You are a great Mum (I just typed something Canadian :) ) and part of that is you are getting in shape to better care for your family and be that wonderful director and overseer of your home. Keep up the good work! You are inspiring me. I need to do this too.
I don't think you look that bad, but I just had a baby and I look WORSE! I started t-tapping this week, I guess I should take pics like you are doing so I can see my progress.
You always look good to me! --And, I actually think that you are very disciplined (aren't we all in the areas that we want to be???) Working out in a cold rain demonstrates Spartan discipline; you go girl!
I am Sombra, and these are the stories from our house. We're a Messianic family where academics often take a back seat to the work and adventure of life.
