"WHO ARE WE!!!? SPARTA!!!!!" You know, from the movie 300. Classes like this morning really make you feel like a warrior, don't they? For those of you who weren't in the 6 am class, we did 300 pushups.
In addition to that, I asked the group how many crunches they thought we should do, and low and behold, Troy said, "500." Can you believe this guy? I think he may have said something like 20 or 200. Either way, if you say 20 or 200, with the pitch of the music, the angle at which soundwaves bend with the columns in the room, and the barometric pressure, the words enter my ear canal as "500." Anyhow, we did it, and we are proud (Sparta)!
So far, we have heard some amazing stories in just the short time we've been doing the UBC. It is really exciting. I would love to be able to share them with everyone. Stories like these bring encouragement, hope, and motivation for others. If you'd like to share it, email it to me. I'll leave your name out if you'd like. Also, I would also just like to know how you're feeling so far.
************************** (1 1/2 hours later)
Okay, this is a two part blog! Although you couldn't tell, I took an 1 1/2 break to teach the 9 am Thai-Robics (Rachel is not feeling well). Guess what we did? You got it! 300 pushups & 500 crunches. Now the pressure is on for the noon class and the evening class.
I hope to hear from you soon about your progress thus far!
Respectfully,
