Now that I realize that people are actually reading this, I’m getting all stressed out. It’s a lot of pressure to try and abuse yourself just to entertain others. But that was what Day 4 was all about. The anticipation was killing me, what would they dream up for today.
A little something called hills and thrills. After our morning warmup jog, which wasn’t a sprint (I think Lisa did get the memo today) we found a new locale for our dynamic stretching exercises. After 85 jumping jacks yesterday, we upped it to 90 today. I think I see where this is going. Pushups (extra 20 since some of our fellow campers decided not to show up), tippy toe walks, heel walks, toy soldiers, toe taps, etc. and then we were ready for hills and thrills.
I personally have never noticed that we have a hill close to Market Village that’s is almost as high as Mt. Everest. You may not have noticed it before either, perhaps it only appears early in the morning. And only when you have to sprint up the hill, do 10 pushups, jog down, do 9 pushups, sprint up the hill, do 8 pushups, etc. I think you get the hang of it. Then situps, then burpees. Yeehah!!!
After some slide drills (think back to the old basketball days), we ran off to find a grassy spot where we could continue to torture the campers. But all in all the morning went by pretty quickly. Luckily, we were offered the opportunity to join in a little bonus after school session, where we attempted to see how many different ways we could do a lunge. Very interesting.
Perhaps what helped the most today, was the thought of my massage this morning and hoping that I would actually be able to walk again after a good rubdown. And I’m happy to report that I can indeed walk again. My muscles have loosened up a bit and I’m ready for Friday. Watch out.
And for all of those who actually read this entire post, I have a bonus for you. Next Tuesday is Bring a Friend Day and since I don’t have any friends, you are cordially invited to join us next Tuesday at 5:45. Dare you…double dare you. I expect to see everyone in Smyrna out there next week. And if you mention that you came because you read this on SmyrnaVinings.com, it’s free!
All right, so it’s free for everyone, but it sounded good.
