headache

monday 10 march: 10 minute fijian touch warm up then off we jogged to the hill. stesh accidentally tackled an innocent civilian in her path and the poor woman did not know what hit her. the rest of us managed to get to the top of the hill without any incident. dot actually reached there first and was bouncing up and down all set for the sprints. however, when we walked back to the sprints starting point she looked back up the hill and developed an instant headache. add dizziness to that mix and she was flat out by the roadside holding her head. end of session for her. we split into the usual same size/same speed groups and did our 10 sprints pushing hard all the way. we felt good, speechlessly tired, but good. next we did our 10 metre 1 minute continuous sprints. hadijah (in photo) sat out to time the minute as her knee was acting up.

it was one minute this time, maybe because prior to starting charlotte had threatened to shoot her if she prolonged the minute. ambrose was on hand and i think he was happy this time round - he had 3 casualties to handle.we jogged back to the club and hit the tackle bags. there were 3 bags up: hit one bag, back peddle 5 metres, hit the next bag, back peddle etc. we did 3 sets of that. girls were quite ferocious. it was good to see. our aggression all released we got down for our usual. this time we were up to 40 pressups, 40 sit-ups and the bridge to a count of 60. we did 20 pressups first had a 5 second break then went for the other 20. i did the first 20 ok, then on the second set gave out when i still had 2 to go. alia, prossy and ann were in the same boat so we finished our 2 together. we did 40 sit-ups at a go then the dreaded bridge. this time round we counted nice and slow up to 60 and girl did it hurt! when we thought we were done christine claimed she had skipped 10 pressups so the whole team offered to keep her company. down we went and we did 14 pressups instead – 7 crossing the right foot over the left and then 7 vice versa. i don’t think christine was being honest though. she was directly opposite me and i saw her do both sets of 20. i think she just wanted to do extra pressups. she loves them! our target of 100 a day will soon be a reality.
