This morning was a running class and we were paired in teams. I was paired with Kate, and Natalie was paired with Jo. Breanne gave us a little bit of motivation and told us that whoever got to each station first would not have to do the cardio part of that station. Let me tell you, we all basically sprinted to the first station. My legs felt like they were detached from my body, I felt like I looked like Jim Carey in dumb and dumber when he was fake running in the doggy van with his arms moving at top speed, I probably had that same look on my face. I could hardly keep up with Kate.
Not really sure who got to the station first, we lost our top speed somewhere halfway! At this station we first did wheel barrels, this is the one from my cheer days that I HATED. It is such an awkward position and I sound like a frog croaking when I breath in. Next we had to do tag team sprinting, Kate ran halfway, came back and tagged me, and then I ran halfway and came back and tagged her. I sprinted to the halfway mark, turned back and could see nothing but Kate's Yellow arm sticking out at me to tag it. I tagged it, and then CRACK, I fell to the ground. My first thought was, really I am going to be that girl?? Then I realized that it actually hurt and started to hold back the tears. Natalie was so cute... "OMG, are you okay?" Lol... we talked about it later laughing about what she was thinking when I fell to the ground, did she get shot, did she have a heart attack, why the hell did she just pounce to the ground right next to me? I am sure I was so graceful! :)
Breanne came over, and her voice said it all.... "Did you hear a pop?" "Yeah" "Oh Geez!"
The rest of the workout sucked. I really badly wanted to be working out with the rest of these girls, but instead I was trying to keep off my foot. I still did little workouts here and there, including push ups.... by the way, I did 15 in a row and it just barely started hurting. During initial assessments I did 8 in 1 minute and couldn't feel my arms...... I also did wall squats that Breanne said I "rocked". Ya baby! Here is a picture of the partner triceps, apparently I wasn't important because I was now a gimp... (j/k breanne) My legs are the ones barely showing with the black pants on.
The way back up the hill was okay. I walked pretty much the whole way. Tania was really sweet and kept me company. I am really starting to enjoy these ladies company. They are very motivating and inspiring. When we got back we did abs while we enjoyed a light drizzle of rain on our faces. Although during I pretty much told Breanne that it was pouring... lol. I can sometimes exaggerate.
So I have spent the rest of the day just taking care of my ankle (RICE, for all you nursing students).
I really want to go to stroller strides tomorrow. I still want a good weigh in on Monday and I WONT let this stupid ankle get in my way.
I am also excited to spend this weekend with my baby boy. Adam is out of town for the mens boat trip with our church. Can we say party??? Yeah right, I will probably be in bed by 8. I am old!
