Tuesday Pyramid

Yesterday I did a full pyramid for the first time in a year or so. It sucked! I was dizzy and dehydrated, saw stars, almost blacked out, and almost threw up.

We spent the morning in wind ensemble rehearsal, and I didn't have my water since I wasn't singing. Thus, I didn't hydrate much before the run and workout.

Taylor and Karl ran with me, and Colleen (Karl's wife) was dubbed the first female to tackle the lunchtime BAMFs. She's MVP of the month just for that!

I GPSed the route we usually run through Hickam officer housing, and it was just over three miles.

Nice easy run.

Then, we stretched a bit, and jumped right in. Karl and Colleen did modified pullups. Taylor is greatly improving on real ones. Awesome! Me too. They're feeling better.

The workout:
1-10-1 Pullups, x2 Pushups, x3 Situps.
Total: 100 Pullups, 200 Pushups, 300 Situps.

Some of the pullups were pretty weak, but I attempted 100 of them.

(I just realized how lame my wording is for my posts. I usually write them when I'm tired of studying, so they're quite simple and drab. *Please note, most of my literature creations utilize language far beyond my typical slang in vocalized conversation, making people wonder if I honestly composed it in the first place...)

I do not know what a full pyramid is, but near blacking out and throwing up sounds pretty effective.

100 pullups? Seriously!

I find your literary blog creations just fine. We don't want to be too full-color when speaking of nausea and such.

Well put Abby. Well put.

Almost blacked out, puked, died?!?
That must have been an intense Pyramid.
I bet you were happy to finish it.

Great work!

Nice! This is the workout that I am going to do in about 20 minutes...it's good to know you are doing these workouts again.

Wow...stars and blacking out...I don't think I have ever pushed myself to that limit. When I feel bad, I just lay on the ground for a while. Sometimes I writhe around and make animal sounds.

Ha! Animal sounds. I like that. Usually, I'd rest too, but we had a time limit, so I couldn't rest.
