Humidity was at 65%. My hair handled it okay but my legs – not so much. My legs were tight but not as tight as they have been. Getting in to Barwis (Connor helped me), i made my way to the chairs. When I got there, I saw a dad who I hadn’t seen for a while. It was the same dad who asked me if I really did 600 squats. We both recognized each other and after our greetings, he asked me where my boy, Adam, was. I told him that I knew and then his next statement baffled me a bit. He said, ‘You’re heartbroken, Aren’t you?” It was more of a statement rather than a question. I didn’t know how to answer that question. It COMPLETELY sucks that I haven’t seen Phil in so long but I’ve said before that I like Mike and I have to keep my eye on the ball. I WILL walk!!!
It was my time and Mike REALLY stretched my legs and hips out! My butt REALLY hurt! After the GREAT stretch to loosen me up, before my time was up, Mike had me lay flat on my back and bring my knees up with my feet still on the table. I did it nicely 4 times. I won’t say that it was easy because it wasn’t. He told me to do it again and I had difficulty. My right leg was true to form once again as my “poop leg” and it was EXTREMELY difficult to bring my right knee up. I said, “Reset, reset” as I straightened my legs again. Let’s try again. I tried. No dice. “Reset, reset” AGAIN! This time I squeezed my eyes shut even harder and gritted my teeth even more and I was able to bring both of my knees up to Mike’s satisfaction. There. I KNEW I could get 5 with my double reset! Actually, I think it was Mike’s encouragement that gave me the edge.
I was EXTREMELY tired and Mike stretched me out further. I asked about the band he was wearing. Phil wore bands. Mike had a white “WIN FOREVER” band and he explained what it meant to me. Interesting. He took me out to my car and I explained Phil’s 4-step process for me to get into my car. “Stand. Grab. Turn. Sit.” I told Mike that he was there to spot me and that I have trouble with the “turn” part sometimes. Well, I DIDN’T this time. I got in ALL BY MYSELF!!! I stowed my chair and told Mike that I may need help getting my feet in the car. I can get them about 90% in on my own. I just need help with that last push. This time I did and Mike helped. It felt good that I was able to get my knees up the 5 times I did (even though I needed a double reset). My shirt was NOT sweat-drenched, my face was not sweaty and red, and I was NOT gasping for breath as is the case as I have seen those high schoolers running sprints at the end of there workouts but I promise that I worked just as hard!
