Day 43

Rain rain go away, come again another day (or don't). No breaking up the burpees today. So off to the gym I went. And what did I forget today? Socks! MMMmmm...can't wait to open that locker tomorrow!

So I decided to beef up my cardio routine before I got to the burpees. I had a trainer once who had me do 30-30s -- 30 seconds of sprinting on the elliptical, then 30 seconds of rest speed. But it was more like 30-60 or 30-90, and I am totally blaming that on Mike Holmes. Holmes on Homes...LOVE him! He is just a knight in shining armor to these folks! We even had on matching earrings today...So, he was soooo distracting! It wasn't until the commercials came on that I was snapped out of my trance and was able to keep up the 30/30.

Then off to the not-in-use workout classroom. You know what I noticed today? If I stand at the back of the room to do the burpees, then when my shirt flies up and I see my tummy in the mirror it looks pretty flat! (Standing close to the mirror is not so forgiving.) 43 burpees later (and all the abs and arms my workout buddy forced me to do) and I was outta there.

Later on I checked my email and saw a chain from the Challenger and other Challengees. Someone did the math: We have completed 996 out of 5100 burpees as of today. Almost half way through in days but not even 20% in actual burpees!!!!!!! NOooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
