Everything started out fine ... I ran a mile in 11:33!!! That's my fastest time yet!! Stacy had me running at 7.5!!! 7.5!!!! Holy moly that's fast!!!
The rest of the workout went okay (to me it was just okay); set 1: using the step block, squat jumps, modified burpees, set 2: push-ups on the step, crab walking, set 3: mountain climbers and another leg lift move while in a plank. I think it was two of each set (each routine was a minute long with no break between routines and a 30 second break between sets)!! I did fine till the first set of mountain climbers. I pushed through those and barely got through the next leg exercise. As Stacy counted down the seconds I felt the rush of emotion. I had no idea what time it was or how much I had left and I panicked. I didn't think I could do any more. I normally stand in the same spot for my 30 second break but this time I just walked away to the other side of the room ... Not in an angry way, I was ashamed and embarrassed that I was feeling like this. Stacy came over and asked what was wrong. I said I felt like I did terrible ... She looked at me like I had 8 heads! She said I was doing great; an 11:33 mile and running at 7.5; longer sets with shorter breaks; harder exercises ... For some reason I didn't think that. I just thought I wasn't going to be able to finish. I felt like I was letting Stacy and myself down. Once she reassured me that I was doing fine and I'm entitled to have an off day, I felt a little better and managed to finish. It took every last ounce of strength and determination to get through it and I did. Tomorrow will be a good test. I will get through it and without tears (at least while I'm with Stacy)!!!
Meanwhile ... Today, my arms are SO SORE, it hurts like a b*%@$ to move them and straighten my elbows!!! Aqua will be tough tonight!!!!
No rest for the weary!!!! I must push on!!!!!
