it was a balmy january day, and i decided tonight would be an excellent night for some late-night lunging. i woke up this morning and thought to myself, "you know, today seems like the best day and i'd really love to do as much static lunging as possible." you know the point where you start to shake, and then your muscles feel like they're being lit by a match? yeah, i want to go further than that. so, to EJ: endurance i went. it was interesting, i haven't done an enduro class yet, and you can definitely see and feel the differences. the best description for this would be getting into a fight with someone half your age and size, but learning all too quickly that they're packing so much heat they're going to make you go home and weep like a little girl.
big al and er bear were commando today, or commanders... or both? it was a fairly stacked class. although, i feel like there's a little less energy in the air this week because of the no caffeine challenge. thank goodness i put a bit of NOS in my yogurt at breakfast. we did everything apart from our first round in static lunges. let me just explain the severity of this for those who might not quite get it: envision spending more time creating a 'box' with your legs than standing up straight. then, you feel like you've been hit by a truck. then, the truck runs you over. now switch legs. yikes.
needless to say, things were hard. damn hard. i guess that's the point of a challenge right? everyone seemed to rise to the occasion, or lunge to the occasion. after this puppy, i'm ready for endurance insurance. should'a got that insured, geiko for ya moneyyyyyyyy!
