I thought I was too old for this, but its worse.

Today we had to run 6 minutes, then walk 2 minutes and run 2 minutes 7 times.  Why do you care?  You probably dont, but if I dont write it down, I wont remember what I'm supposed to do for homework.  Why?  Because I believe running makes you stupid.  I shared part of my theory with my sister.  I liked it to my body returning to adolescence.  No, this isn't a good thing.  If you think it is, you obviously didn't see me back then.

My face is breaking out, I'm having what feels like growing pains, and I've become clumsy once again.  I'm getting all the bad side effect with none of the good ones.  What good ones, you ask?  You know, the ones that make you have limitless energy and the ability to eat anything without a care.  Today marks 4 weeks into my 10 week training program, and can you believe I've GAINED weight? 

Pitman has begun the program.  He's really kicking butt and seems to be enjoying the crap out if it.  And so is my sister, Hope.  Which made me think that maybe I'm just too old for this crap, as they are the same age, which is younger than me.  But today I talked to one of my group mates.  She's also struggling and having problems like me, and she's 61.  It gets worse.  She ended up not being able to run the whole thing today.  I did.  When I was supposed to run, I DID run!!!  Whats wrong?  Why does this upset me?

I run at the same speed as a 61 year old woman walks.  This cant be good.
