And I pay this guy

I have a coach to help me through the mind field of training for the Ironman.

I meet this coach, along with a few other ladies, on Thursday mornings to run exhausting hill workouts.

This is the type of coach that tells me to bring my “A” game.

And today, as he laid the workout out there, my heart started racing and I buckled down to do what I was told.

I ran up the hill, the hill I was suppose to run in under 2 minutes and 40 seconds, TWICE.  I found the blood rushing out of my arms and legs, my body aching and falling apart, my mind started screaming as everything was going to shit, DEAR GOD HELP ME,  DEAR GOD HELP ME, PLEASE!!

Seriously, I was thinking, “I have to blog about this because this is crazy.”  So crazy it felt like my vagina wasn’t even getting oxygen.

So very, very crazy-dumb-stupid-idiotic.  It is so wrong to push your body to the point of feeling like your going to fall over or vomit or pass out.  It is so wrong on so many levels.

But…it’s so right.  It is so right,  that I did both hills in under the time I needed to.

HEEEEEELLLLLLLLLL YEAH!

Ironman or bust BITCHES!
