Barracudas

It's not that I'm not honoring Buswona by chosing not to use up an entire post about it when it happened last week. It's because... I don't know. Other people have posted about it, and I'm afraid if I do I will break the pact by accident. And then you guys will have to break my neck (on accident.) I am going to honor Buswona using only a sentence and a very long pause.

Buswona was fun, and it was amazing; please give a moment of silence.

[here comes the very long pause]

Now, onto the topic. Barracudas started on Monday of this week, and since then, I have been dead. We run every day for a mile (or maybe even more; no one really has measured), do abs for... I don't know. Fifteen minutes, maybe? We have to do pushups, crunches, squat-thrusts, lunges, high knees, supermans, etc. It's kind of painful. Okay, not kind of. VERY painful.

Then we swim for an hour or so. The swimming part isn't that bad; it's just very annoying. And have you noticed, that even if you do something that's kind of easy, if you do it repeatedly for a very long time you get sore afterwards? That's what swimming is, basically.

And now, my legs are all sore from all that running, and my arms are all sore from all that repeated swimming. You know what? I think getting back into shape is not fun, and definitely killing to your body.

Lesson #1: Always cheat. Cut corners when running, don't do flip turns... etc.

Okay, that wasn't a good lesson. How about the real things we should be thinking about?

Lesson #1: No matter how hard your obstacle is, you will always survive so keep going.
Lesson #2: Don't stop running, because it will always be harder to start back up again.
Lesson #3: Stretch, you'll regret it if you don't.
Lesson #4: DON'T GET OUT OF SHAPE!! You'll regret it even more! And then you'll be like me! All sore and tired and dead... bleugh!
