Today and yesterday's workout

Let's begin with yesterday: I went to the rec center around 5pm. Oh goodness, was it crowded! There wasn't a single locker open in the locker room. The track was absolutely swarming with people, a good majority of them being walkers. I managed to run 5k in 25:30 then did a long plank and side plank. I wanted to follow up on the stationary bicycle but literally every machine in the building was taken.

Now for today's workout: let me preface this all by saying I was having some severe pain this morning. I was unable to sleep last night because this sharp stabbing pain in my lady regions kept me up. It's an intense pain that I've experienced before that comes in waves. I've never experienced child birth, but if I had to guess, I'd say it feels like contractions. It persisted in the morning but thankfully went away by the afternoon. And yes, I'm going to go see a doctor. Don't worry. 

Despite all of this I still had to go to my personal fitness class. The teacher set up 18 stations throughout the room. We spent a minute and a half at each station before moving immediately to the next. The stations were (in the order I did them): oblique heel reaches, jump squats, arm circles, mountain climbers, v-ups, bicycles, skipping, jump rope, body weight squats, high knees/butt kicks, pushups, jump overs, body weight lunges, superman, jogging in place, jumping jacks, calf raises, and grapevines. Even though I was tired and still experiencing pain I gave it my all. No half-assing. No giving up. No laughing because I felt silly. I did it all.
