GI Jane experience #1
So I didn't quite make it to track in the morning today, so afternoon track once again. I schlepped down to San Leandro for track again. Knowing I would actually get to do circuit drills today, I made sure to load up on peanut butter pretzels for snacks pre-workout. (which turns out to be the best snack for me so far - pre track or pre run.) The afternoon was SO HOT on the track and smoke from the local fires was really thick in the air. They gave us the option of not participating for the day due to the smoke, but I thought, eh - I am breathing it anyway, right? Pleasant surprise, which ended up being a very useful surprise...my Chipper Sue attended. She is so very very good at distracting me from quitting. Really, she's a pro I think - secretly a 'quitting interventionist.' Anyway, there were large poster boards presented with lists of drills...15 squats, pushups, situps and more squats...then run, 15 supermans, then pushups again, then one legged squats on each leg...then run...then do it all over again. To begin the drills, we started off with an initial lap (not including our warm up lap) and also ended after the last drill with a "victory" lap as the last one. I finished my very first GI Jane experience overall in 21 minutes and 23 seconds. And I sweated buckets. :) I found it very worthy of my GI Jane experience #1. I left happy and sweaty and patting myself on the back.
