Last night I had the world's most stressful, demanding workout. I made a mental note - if it looks easy on the website, it is not and I should most certainly stay at home. Frankly, I don't know what I was thinking signing up with these crazy ex-Army dudes in the first place. Mark was really into it. The things we do for love hey?? But really, I do like this crazy gym - it's called Crossfit, they are all over Youtube doing MENTAL stuff. It makes me do things I never thought I would, push myself to the point of almost puking... They even have a wall where all the people who have puked after or during a workout have their name immortalised. It's a badge of honour to have pushed yourself that hard - a badge I hope never to achieve! Last night's pain involved 15 rounds of 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups and 15 squats. It looked so easy when I read it!! But in 25 minutes I only made it to 13 rounds, even though I was given a sub of doing my pull-ups on the rings. I sobbed like a little child, mainly because I knew that after 10 minutes rest they were going to make me do another 8 rounds, or however many I could complete in 12 & 1/2 minutes. Torturous. There was a lady next to me who I was matching round for round and then she suddenly called "Time" as if she'd finished. I know she cheated!! But when I got home I discussed it with Mark and we decided she is only cheating herself, which made me feel better. =)
