Day 45

After a 15 minute warm-up on the arc trainer, I headed into a not-so-vacant workout classroom to do the 45. But 2 witnesses is better than 30, so I went ahead.

You know how you have to pump yourself up to jump off the high dive or some other daunting thing? Some days, that's how it is with the burpees. I stand there in front of the mirror getting myself ready. "Okay boys...okay boys!" a la Lane Frost in 8 Seconds. So after several deep breaths, off I went. I didn't need as many breaks today -- some days are just less difficult than others. (I will not call this easy.)
Then I went to yoga. Apparently, it was Power Yoga -- didn't find that out till I was in the middle of it. And the instructor was not the relaxing, soothing, speaker you would expect. I think she must have been a tour guide at Disney World before this. "And now we will move into the Down Dog Ride, but first take a moment to enjoy Space Mountain pose." Plus, she was very concerned with the non-relaxing music playing in the spin room on the other side of the wall. Honey, I can't even hear that Lady Gaga song you speak of. I am too busy trying to keep "our" legs in Ardha Mandalasana so "we" don't fall over and make a thud and disturb the spinners next door."

Good workout. Can't wait to do it all again (+1) tomorrow.
