Running scared

Tonight was a straight up cardio blast. Running and sit-ups. Specifically run 400 meters and then come back and do 20 situps. You had to accomplish this feat within 3 minutes over an 18 minute period. That's 6 rounds of this cr@p.

Now, 18 workouts ago I might have been coughing up a lung. But I've actually improved a bit so I didn't do too badly. Lori was running way ahead of the pack and she tried to say she was going to fail before the workout started. "Oh I'm sick, I've got stuff in my throat, you're going to run way past me" blah blah blah blah.

Well Lori is the typical humble local girl with legs of steel. Former track girl, long jump and sprints and all that. Anyway, running is NOT a weak point for her. Maybe I can beat her at military press but freaking A that girl can take off running so I knew for all her complaining she was going to blast past everyone. Could she have run faster if she was completely healthy? Sure, but she still beat everyone. I just like thinking about stuff like that as she blows past me on every lap. Makes me feel better about coming in second.

Oh by the way, I promised Coach Kikuchi that I would tell everyone that I'm actually IMPROVING my physical condition while working at Raw Fitness Maui. He's afraid that my blog makes it look like I just get beat up every workout. I DO get beat up on every workout but in all honesty it hurts less and less every time. Progress right? You know it.

By the way, someone figure out what 40 percent of 190 pounds is. I hate math and I need to figure out which dumbbells to use to hurt myself with for tomorrow's workout. Oh joy.
