So I'm 21 days in....turning 21 is such aright of passage....college students look forward to this birthday for along time...and then it is anti-climactic...and somewhat annoying....all your under aged friends want you to buy for them...you are no longer considered a minor on any level....the big two one... this introduction has nothing to do with my blog today...but my workout at The Mount was definitely not for the under 21 crowd....
The energy was high...Benny was there....LAST Thursday it was only Benny and me at this workout time...no one else was there...it was all friendly and supportive and almost like a semi private personal training session...oh wait...that's exactly what it was....but this Thursday was crazy fun....Alison Vanessa and I were there along with Benny, Chandler and and...crap I forgot his name... anyhoo he probably doesn't read my blog....so we were doing dumbbell bench press from the floor...lying on the floor doing a bench press style lift with dumbbells...(yeah...probably didn't need to explain it). We had the 20 pounders out and we were to lift them until we reached our max three times...well I got 45 reps...soooo...(said Jon Farwell)..."looks like you should have used the 30 pounders Babs..."and I agreed that 45 reps probably wasn't the intent of the workout...but it didn't occur to me that I should change it up mid flow so I did my second round with the same weight...which of course earned me many demerits and humiliations (all happily received)...as well as the 30 pounders being placed ever so delicately next to my head...I banged out another 45 just to make my point...theeeennnn a meager13 with the big boys...it was during this little love fest with the dumbbells that the mood was set. I was on fire....things were said...lines were crossed...little did I know Benny was on fire too...
As we lined up for conditioning...(25 push ups, bear crawls up and back, 20 KB Swings, bear crawls up and back X4) Benny and I were directly across from each other...so I brought out my best gangsta arm maneuver and yelled Bring it on B*tch!!!! And so it began....Benny yelling at ME as he lead me through the first round of bear crawls..me yelling at him as I tried to catch up...then ME yelling at him as I passed him...then him yelling at ME as he tried to close the gap...if I thought I could get away with writing all of what went down I would...but see what happens at The Mount stays at The Mount...it's kind of an unspoken creed...and if you really want to have the full White Mountain Crossfit Experience then you need to join the gym and get on it anyway...
So the food was great today...my day was great...(Flipz, Tutoring,VLACS,Coaching,RoadRace Committee Meeting, CDA) then dinner...and soon...bed...and although I am full...I find myself with a strange craving for Almond Crusted Salmon....Have a nice night Benny!!!
