TORTURE LAPS

Probably my least favorite thing we do when we work together as a team is WORK HORSE around the track.  The trainer puts a rubber elastic stretch band around our waist, they hold on to the two ends and pull as we attempt to run the straight sides of the track.  My legs feel like rubber after about 10 steps.  We do it twice.  My legs are burning, I am out of breath and they just keep encouraging us to keep going, you are almost there, you can walk at the curved part of the track.  I found myself counting steps as I did it today.  60 steps for the straight side, 10 steps on the curve side, 60 more steps of torture, 10 steps trying to catch your breath, and it starts all over again.  I am sure that is doing me some good, but it is one exercise that I know will never get easier, the trainer will always be able to pull and make it HARD WORK.

It sure feels good to get on the scale in the morning and see that it has dropped again.   It will be a long process, but one day at a time I will work my way down to a healthy weight.
