I didn't have my watch so not sure how long it took but definitely less than an hour. I thought I was going to put two 20 lb dumbells through my basement ceiling this morning with those push presses. I was really throwing them up! I will say it takes alot of core strength to be able to throw a heavy weight over your head.

I am happy to say that I finally got to have a tuna sandwich today! The light brown rice bread is not bad at all. It's no mushy wonder bread more like a stale bread but I forget how portable a sandwich really is. I am used to rushing all over the place to get home before lunch. I don't mind taking snacks with me but lunch is tough.

Anyway, tomorrow is running 5 miles and I'll be happy when it's over. I'll be sure to post a pic of me and my sister on race day :).
