Running with a truck tire!

Friday night boot camp was SO hard, the hardest it has been since I've started the class. We started off running 1/2 mile around the high school track and then we ran the stairs of the bleachers. It was like a flash back from high school gym class...yuck! There are 47 stair and it felt like 147, my legs were on fire but I kept at it and made it for the duration. After we ran the stairs we went to the middle of the football field and picked a tire, yes a truck tire! OK, the fat girls really got screwed in this becuase you had to find a bigger tire to fit over your butt and carry it around your middle. With the tire around our waist we ran to the 50 yard line and back. We then rolled our tire to the 100 yard line. That doesn't seem like it would be that hard but when you try to roll a truck tire in the grass while walking it keept falling down. Soon I learned the key was to get the tire rolling fast and run with it...ahhhhh...so you even have to work HARDER! We then went and ran another set of stairs and went back to doing more tire work. I was sure I would have very badly bruised wrists and arms but they only have a couple little bruises. We ran/walked around the track two more times then it was off to do resistance bands and ab work with a 4 pound weighted ball. After the class was over Nikki & were discussing how much we thought a tire weighed so we got the scale from my house, went back to the high schoool and weighed the truck tire we had toted around....39 pounds!

I'm trying not to get disappointmed that the scale is not going down faster! This moring I was 199.6, I really want to get back to 188 in the NEAR future.
