Day 36

Well, when I said that Erika was probably gonna "break me," and I wasn't kidding. (She must have read the blog before she planned the workout).

First, we started off at 6:30 am... on a Saturday... if THAT doesn't show dedication to train for this monster, I don't know what is!

1st exercise up? Yup, Suicides. Like I said, BREAK ME. If you have the pleasure of not knowing what 'Suicides' are, please reference back to day 17 for an outstanding diagram and description.

Erika is funny, and I'm stupid. She's like, "Petunia, there are more cones, but they are not as far apart as last time." "OKAY," I say, thinking this is easier. Of course I'm actually do MUCH more running than the last time.

Since I was the only one there, she ran with me. Which at first, I thought was nice, but then I became fully self conscious of how heavy I was breathing. I had visions of me looking like Professor Klump running on a treadmill. And of course, I was probably breathing a lot louder and harder in my head.

Check out my new outfit below in the sketch.



** please note that this sketch is NOT to scale. My arms are not that toned, my stomach is not that flat, and chest not that wide! **

This will be my new gym outfit. What is that over my face, you ask? Well, a sweatshirt, a plastic bag, a potato sac. ANYTHING, really, as long as my face is covered. I had the pleasure of eating 1 bug, (not that my 1/2 English Muffin with spray fake butter wasn't enough). Then 2 bugs flew into my right eye at separate times, and 2 flew up my nose. I mean, REALLY, can't they see its hard enough to work out! So with the new face protection method, I feel confident that I'll have some security from the little bastards. I haven't quite figured out how well I'll be able to breathe through the plastic/shirt/canvas, but we'll come to that when we come to that.

And please welcome and give a shoutout to Public Follower #8 !!! YAY. Welcome to the trail!
