Last night I blogged about Body Pump and bricking it<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well I came close to not going, I was tired after a day at work and all I wanted to do was sleep.. Towards the end of the day at work my back and knees were aching and I was on the cusp of the mother of all migraines. <\/span><\/p>\n

So what\u00a0did I do…. I work with people all over central\u00a0England, I have a pal I chat\u00a0to on messenger so I sent him what I call a virtual distress flair.<\/span><\/p>\n

My Pal John saved me from myself,\u00a0\u00a0when I said I was thinking about skiving he reminded me that missing tonight I would be moving away from my goals, he said that if I go I will feel better for making the effort and if I didn’t go I would be letting myself down. <\/span><\/p>\n

Now John has no investment in me he lives hundreds of miles away and we only talk via email or occasionally on the phone, and yet I send up a flare and he gives me the virtual bum kick I need. <\/span><\/p>\n

So I dragged my sorry ass to class… here is a list of the hurdles I had to jump<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It was freezing outside and peeing with freezing rain.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. There was no parking space at the gym so I had to park in the overflow.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. The door to the studio where that class is held was shut.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. The room was packed.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. I didn’t know a single person in the room.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. I was cramped at the back with the spin bikes and the punch bag<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    What stopped me from turning tail and running.<\/span><\/div>\n
      \n
    1. The lady who was holding the class put a step and a mat out for me.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. The chap in front of me seemed like he was a little nervous too.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. The room was darkened with disco lights.<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. There was a mixed bag of people in the class.<\/span><\/li>\n
    5. I was there and there was no turning back.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The class was good, I could actually do more than I thought, there were a few things I would change my bench was to low and I kinda needed to set up my area better.\u00a0 I had no idea what kit I needed so I was bumbling around a bit but I was next to two ladies who seemed to know what was coming next so I just copied them.<\/span><\/p>\n

      I didn’t really engage with anybody though \ud83d\ude41 and at one point I felt a bit emotional (I know daft)<\/span><\/p>\n

      But I didn’t swear I wasn’t arrested I didn’t die, and nobody was behind me to see my massive ADSA pants.<\/span><\/p>\n

      So ups and downs, and well as pump… <\/span><\/p>\n

      I wont give up just yet but I am more a half hour class girl than a hour class \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n
