Wednesday May 12, 2021: 4.2 Miles


Today I finished 'The Mating Game' and started 'The Iron Petticoat' from 1956 with Bob Hope and Katharine Hepburn.

I walked 4.2 miles on my treadmill in 40 minutes, with a break every 10 minutes for push-ups & squats totaling 32 of each.

IMDb Movie Summary: A Russian female pilot leaves her native land for America and is captured by an Air Force captain who is put in charge of handling her while the military sorts out the matter. Meanwhile the Russian government does their best to get her back to Russia, but nobody can stop the two from falling in love -- not even the Air Force captain's fiancée. (By JenExxifer)

Today I finished 'Overcomer' from 2019. I walked 4 miles on my treadmill in 40 minutes, with a break every 10 minutes for push-ups & squats totaling 36 of each. Image below from the final race scene; the running is inspiring and the story is too. IMDb Movie Summary: After reluctantly agreeing to coach cross-country, John and his wife, Amy, meet an aspiring athlete who's pushing her limits on a journey toward discovery. Inspired by the words and prayers of a new-found friend, John becomes the least likely coach helping the least likely runner attempt the impossible in the biggest race of the year.
