So tomorrow morning I'm starting a 10 week Extreme Bodyshaping program at Farrells. I am excited to start working out, get fit and drop some pounds. I'm not excited about getting up early to be at class at 5:15 am.
My bestie Lisa has had amazing success going to Farrells and I admit that I was a little bit jealous of how good she looked. Before I signed up, I needed to make sure my arm could handle all the punches so I went to a "bring a friend" class with Lisa. It hurt but I'm a tough cookie and decided to take the leap. After some intense bidding during the silent auction at a volleyball tournament, I won and got the package for almost half price. I was locked in.
We did the always fun picture, measurements and initial testing on Friday night. The only thing I was really concerned about was the mile run. Running and I don't get along so well. I read a quote once that said "If I had to run for my life, I'd die." While I might not be at that level, I really hate running. Although I suppose when you really think about it, it would really depend on how bad the person chasing wanted to catch me...but I digress. The point is that I don't care for running and part of the initial testing was a mile run. I set goals for myself, namely not to finish last and to finish under 20 minutes. Well you will be pleased to know that I met all of my goals. Now if you are a serious runner, just skip over the next sentence. It will not impress you. However, my mile time was 12:45 which impressed me.
My alarm is going to go off early tomorrow morning however I have some additional motivation to go to class. As we were leaving testing on Friday night, one of the guys on my team said Go Hawks. I may or may not have to ask him about the big Cyclone victory on Saturday. Not sure if that's the way to make new work out buddies though...
