Sunday, Feb. 3
It was an unexpected partner workout on the stairs. Keturah and I met at the Exorcist stairs at 9 am.
Warmup:
1 round of cals
leg stretches
Workout:
10 Rounds of...
1 time up and down the steps
10 jumping lunges (each leg)
10 jumping squats (butt touching calves)
Total time:
Adrienne - 23:30
Keturah - 31:12
My legs are killing. They are going to hurt even more tomorrow I think, and my arms are wasted from Friday's workout. The pushpresses killed me. I'm generally not sore three days after a workout, but that one killed me. I need to "Rest Now."
Also.. I have a new nickname for Mike Mann. Mike "the Omniscient" Mann (MOM for short). My phone rang during my second round of this workout.. it was Mike Mann. He left a message saying that he spotted me stretching at the base of the stairs.
I've finally pieced it together. I think Mike Mann is the reason that our country hasn't been attacked since September 11. He's everywhere.. keeping an eye out on everyone. Thank goodness this guy is on our side!

JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH!!
I was so excited about working out that my clumsy self, yes, locked my keys in the trunk of my car.
There are certain types of workout at CROT where you will hear phrases like AWESOME, GREAT, GOOD JOB, PERFECT, WAY TO GO. Then comes the workouts where you will hear CRAZY, PSYCHO, INSANE, and UNBELIEVABLE. Two words you will always hear no matter the type of workout is REST LATER!!!
Long story short, Adrienne, you are crazy, psychotic, insane, and unbelievable. Ten rounds of pure leg work is what I would call the personality workout. Why? Because I started talking to myself, "should I rest now or later", "what the hell is this", how am I going to survive CROT on Monday", "I should have stayed in the bed", etc. While I'm talking to myself I'm hearing a voice saying, "come on Keturah two more to go." After all was said and done I conquered the exorcist at 31:12.
Thanks Adrienne for your spirit. Thanks for haning out with me while I waited for Lock Smith. Thanks Mike Mann for checking in. You are truly a man of greatness.
Hehe! Way to push yourself Keturah. It's easy to get lost in your mind on exorcist stairs workouts.. that's why I love having someone yelling at me. Then all you can think about is finishing so that voice will finally be quiet. Thanks for partnering up with me and giving my workout engineering a try.
Adrienne, Would have rather been running stairs with you, not that protecting the homeland isn't important. (You may be giving me a little too much credit. Being omniscient is a full-time job!)
My A double S is sooooooo sore. It's a good thing I didn't have any meetings today, because there is no way I could wear heels. Good job Adrienne.
I am LMAO!
too funny!
The brutal workout...
Mike being "everywhere"...
Love it!
Hilarious.. I was rubbing my A double S today in between box jump sets.. I've been having trouble walking as well, unfortunately I did wear heels. ouch ;)
