Showing Off

Posted by speedygeoff on Saturday, November 22, 2008 with
At the gym on Friday I held the hover (a.k.a. plank) for three minutes and was branded a "show off". Well of course I am! My record was 90 seconds and I was going for a new record! Since when are we limited to following the gym instructor's dictates to the letter? She told us to hold it for one minute, rest, then go for another half minute. I am trying improve myself; some of the exercises I am terrible at, some I can barely do, and some I find easy. I shall continue to do harder versions of the easy exercises.

I also like showing off our accomplishments at the track.

1500m's over, now we can relax.
