I didn't DIE!

    Today marks my second week.  I was not as sore from yesterdays workout as last week, and today I was ready to roll... then I saw 1-lap + 10! push up, sit up, squat + 1 lap... warm up.  I told myself today that I would NOT rest as much as I did last week in between every sing thing.  I was getting on my own nerves!  So during warm up - I said I could only take as many breaths as the number of reps I did just before I started to rest.  So if I did 4 push ups I only got 4 breaths... I finished my warm up in 30 minutes today (kills last week's 45 minute warm up ~ and if I didn't have to do those stupid laps it would have been WAY faster).  To add to the excitement of my 10!, the first day I went to test I did the exact same rotation at a 7! and almost DIED.  I feel myself getting better... I didn't think that could happen after a week, but :-D  Yesterday I had to do 3 laps total, and the last lap I wanted to walk SO bad... but I didn't.  That is a big deal for me, THAT has always been a struggle with me and at one point in life I overcame it, but it was great to be able to cover come it again.  

    After warm up... yup again, that was warm up... the fools said, you only have to do 100 pull ups.  I was like, ok... remind you that the Tiffany pull up is stand on 3 chunky weights stacked up so my head is at the bar, then jump to get my chin as close to over the bar as possible all the while pretending my arms are actually pulling me... I can do 100 of those in 31 minutes.  Then... the catch.  If you rest for more than 3 seconds, or your arms come off the bar - you get to do 62 lunges.  62 LUNGES (well, 31 each leg - like that makes it any better!) I didn't hear that go to 100 no arms off the bars my first round, so I jumped... I mean pulled up... like a crazy person and got to 16 and was ready to die when I heard the rule... I made it to 23 that round, but my shoulders just wouldn't let my arms be on the bar anymore. So I did lunges... more lunges... and more lunges - do you know how huge the number 62 is when describing LUNGES? So back to the bar, I was determined that I was going to get all 100  77 pull ups done with out having to do any more lunges.  47... 48... 49... crap.  There went the arms again.  I swear they don't listen to anything I say.  Back to the lunges, and lunges, and lunges... By now I'm staring at the bar cursing it, determined that these shoulders WOULD LISTEN TO ME this time.  68... keep going... 69... ouch NO keep going... 70... do I really need shoulders?... 71... the arms fell off.  (not literally of course LOL) back to lunges.  Time check 2 minutes... you mean you stupid arms could not just hold on for 2 more minutes???  OOH I hate the last few minutes/seconds of a workout.  I always feel like I have to push and finish in it.  So I got to... 18 lunges and was done.  Didn't finish, but 71 faux-pull ups & 142 lunges... I'm ok with that!  

I will finish a timed workout before September 1st.  (I hope) That is my only goal right now.  Finish a workout.
