Can you tell it was a rough day at BC? Pretty sure being able to focus on three gals and see every mistake, weakness, and cheating-attempt made Josh super happy today. While he was screaming, "Don't quit! Don't you dare quit!!!" during our 685th mason twist (I am POSSIBLY exaggerating that number, but that's what it felt like!), two things crossed my mind that I wanted to say. 1) I hate you and every word that comes out of your mouth and I want to punch you, and 2) Is it possible that a human can start a fire inside their body by doing an ab exercise? The twisting motion of that stupid ab exercise literally feels like I am take two sticks and rubbing them together within my midsection. You know what I am talking about - like the hard-core woodsy people do to start a fire. Does anyone do that anymore? I am most likely displaying how ignorant I truly am about anything to do with camping....and mason twists. :)
The goal today (besides hiding in the bathroom until it was all over) was to do 20 seconds of each exercise with 10 second rest, then move on to the next exercise for 20 seconds...so on and so on. Oh, and he decided to throw a lap around the block between our sets, as well. Molly and I laugh (cry, sob, etc) because you KNOW it's bad when running feels like a freaking vacation compared to what you were just doing.
When we were sent out on our first "lap" (I put that in quotes because it sounds so friendly and easy when, in fact, its misery after doing 1300 monkey dips and squat thrusts), we took a couple strides and immediately started bitching. I do not communicate well while exercising....as in, I do my best to communicate through grunting and hand gestures. Molly and Monica, however, seem to be able to talk with perfect clarity while running....so, therefore, I slightly hate them. They are my friends, but I do not discriminate in my hatred for people who can do that. :) When we rounded a corner, Monica said - in a perfectly clear voice- "I am literally made of jello, I think. Just a bunch of jello". Which I totally agreed- "Grunt, grunt, snort [insert head nod and hand gesture]". My legs reminded me of those Jello Jiggler things that our moms made us when were were little. What happened to those things anyway? I have never made those for my kids---so either no one makes them anymore or I obviously do not take the effort to make cute things for my kids.
When we were done with our last friendly lap, Monica and I SWORE we were probably done. How silly of us to think we could leave when we were still breathing and looking like semi-normal humans! Josh had the TRX (suspension training) rope things hanging from the ceiling for us to do some more ab work. To show us what we would be doing, he put his feet in these strap things and turned on his stomach and then started doing all sorts of suspended ab exercises. I could not stop laughing...was it out of pure fear? Or just a sense of peace that went through me that said "you'll be passed out within 2 minutes anyway, so don't sweat it"......apparently, it was the first reason. Because, holy schnikees, that was impossibly hard. Molly told Josh, "I've always wanted to try suspension training...." and when he walked away she looked at me and finished with, "......said no one ever". Oh how I love her.
When we were doing mountain climbers on the TRX things, I KNOW I looked like the Road Runner from Looney Toons. Remember him? Because I just kept swinging my legs and I kept swinging backwards and my feet were doing that cartoon "fast leg" thing! You know, where they just move in one place and look ridiculous. Ya, that was me .....so sexy.
High of the day: Extra ab work from all the laughing we did when we were completely failing at suspension training.
Low of the day: Definitely need to send a note to the high school right by OK Fit (BC) - their students were out driving while we were running and I think I almost got run over twice. Eh - it might have gotten me out of that suspension training! Memo to me.....next time, "fall" in front of a driving car while running.....

It use to be just Whitney and I so I can relate!!
