Day 39

Today was 39. The first day I split up the burpees. Up until today, I did all burpees continuously - albeit with a few 10 - 60 second breaks among them. Yesterday I was talking to my sweet baby, and I said, "Sweet Baby, 38 burpees was so hard today! I did not like doing them!" And he said, "I think you are going to have to start splitting them up, you are getting up there in the numbers. And you are looking smokin, too!" (Okay, maybe he didn't say the last part, but maybe he thought it! huh? huh?) So I said, "Sweet Baby, you are so smart! I am so glad I am marrying you!"

So today was the day. I would split up the burpees and life would be good! So I took myself down the block to the park and did a little walk/run around it. After a few laps (it's a small park), I decided it was time to get started. If you read the first post, you know how I feel about doing burpees outside in public. But yall, it's time to suck it up! I can't keep up these high numbers without splitting them, and I don't want to go to the gym twice! Well, pretty much every reason why I don't like doing them outside in public existed today (my t-shirt kept flying up, my pants sagged, a little kid on a tri-cycle pointed at me [well, maybe not, but he was in the park at the same time and could easily have pointed at me without me knowing because I purposefully faced the other direction], but you know what, it wasn't that bad. I mean, they don't take sooo long. And I was over halfway done with the day's burpees! (I did 20.)

So home, shower, get ready for class. And damnit! I have to pack gym clothes and sneakers and my heavy text book for the night class b/c since I have to go to the gym I won't have time to come home in between classes and get this humongous book. That is 2 bags! which doesn't sound like a lot but i really thought it was at the time and now i think maybe i was overreacting. Anyway, I did not want to walk 1.3 miles to school carrying TWO bags. (I think putting it in all caps makes it sound a lot worse! like how I felt about it!) How will I ever get to school with TWO bags? ooh ooh...call for a ride! So I did -- thank you friend for coming to pick me up!

Long story short -- I went to class, went to the gym, ellipticalled for 30 min, did the 19 burpees I had left (in the privacy of the not-in-use spinning room), hated every second of it, somehow found the motivation to do some crunches and strength training, went to my night class (where we did not use the humongous book 1 time!), came home still hating the burpees and decided to share my hatred with the world. Day 39.
