Crossfit

I literally have not done anything remotely physically strenuous since the end of softball this fall. I mean, I did Dance Team, which which was strenuous for the part of practice when we would go through entire routines at a time, but other than that it wasn't like I got a work out from that. Anyway, my dad started going to crossfit classes. Crossfit is basically working all major muscle areas in one workout. He asked me to go along with him on Thursday night, so I did. I was just expecting a jackwagon workout that I could slack off in. I was wrong. That was the hardest workout I have ever done in my life! It was completely insane, but I loved it! The trainers work you hard, but it's almost as if they know your limits better than you do. I was so sore on Friday, but it was a good kind of sore feeling. It was a "Wow, I actually did something difficult and I survive, and this is going to help me in the end" kind of sore feeling. I loved it so much that I went back on Friday afternoon with my sisters! We have it set up so that all three of us go to the 4pm class three days a week, and I am really excited for it! Once I get back in shape, I will start going everyday after school, which will be awesome. I am so out of shape right now, and I hate it. I just feel sluggish.

Mom said that the main reason that her and Dad want us to do this Crossfit thing is because this summer we are taking a vacation to Glacier National Park. She said that we will be white water rafting and hiking most of the time, so we need to be in great shape so that she doesn't have to hear us complain about how tired we are. It is going to be a 10 day trip and we are going with our friends the Schafers. I really hope we all don't end up killing each other. 11 people in 2 campers for 10 days... this should be interesting, we barely survive our weekend camping trips. This will be an ultimate test of patience for all of us.
