Creative Workouts

To think I almost passed up such an entertaining 45 minutes. Dana called this evening to say she got a key to the church and we could walk inside! After walking four miles in the sub-degree weather last night, putting ourselves in grave danger/embarrassment of falling on black ice, loosing our noses to frostbite, and odd looks from passerbys (sp?), walking inside sounded wonderful!
Before even getting inside the church we could see through the windows that walking in the gym would not be possible. Perhaps black ice would be easier to dodge than kids and flying basketballs! So, we moved to plan b; walking in the sanctuary...forgive us those who may find this disrespectful.
It wasn't long into our walk before we somebody (Dana?) had the brainy idea to JOG! Can you believe she would even mention such thing? JOG?! HAH...but ok, I did it. Two laps maybe? AND THEN...somebody else (ME?!) had ANOTHER brainy idea...lets do basketball side steps (for lack of better term) through the pews! So, we did it!
It was at this point that I thought...maybe we should close the sanctuary doors so nobody could see us. Too late...just as I shut the door I heard knocking on the outside door. I looked to see who it was, let them in, and wouldn't you know--we were about to have some entertainment for our walk. Apparently, the sanctuary is also used to practice Sunday morning special music. Who would of thought?! Little did these singers know what entertainment they were about to receive themselves! They walked in just in time to see three crazy girls running steps on the stage!
So for 45 minutes Dana, Kendrah and myself took turns leading crazy laps around the church halls and sanctuary. Up steps, down steps, run with knee lifts, stop and do 10 wall push ups, hold the wall up, jog, jog, jog, walk(!), and round and round we went. Thanks to Kendrah's pedometer, we went somewhere around 2.25 miles of this. Don't laugh. It isn't far...but It will be shocking if I can move in the morning.
