These running time workouts are not my favorite. I prefer the finish as fast as you can ones that we do outside but space inside Plumbline is limited so all winter we will be doing these — it makes the winter workouts drag on and on and on — Today, I had my friend Kim as my partner which posed some interesting challenges. Kim is bigger than me. Her foot length is the size of my entire calf and she can just about lift my weight over head during group trainings on Friday. So it was tough to do crunches trying to hook onto her leg with my feet and try doing a platinum situp when you are suppposed to lean on the other for support — there were a few times she just about knocked me over. It’s funny to even visualize but if you were there this AM — you didn’t have to visualize it, it was in real time!
