Let's start with the good news... tonight at boot camp I ran my timed 1km run almost 2 minutes faster than my very first timed run 6 weeks ago. 2 minutes!! This is the part where I get to toot my own horn... 'Toot Toot!'
The bad news is that it was so warm out tonight (20 degrees!) that it made running a bit harder. Don't get me wrong I am happy about the warm weather and that Spring has sprung and all that but going from running in -2 degrees to +20 degrees in 2 weeks is a bit of an adjustment. I am hoping that on the Sun Run day it is a bit on the cooler side. The Sun Run is less than 2 weeks away now... yikes!
OK now onto the dog poop part of my story. Mondays at boot camp are always 'ball night' where we do most of our running and work out with an exercise ball. Well towards the end of class we didn't need the ball for a couple of exercises and the trainer told us to roll our balls over to a grassy area near the school fence so they wouldn't roll away across the school yard. Easy enough... so I tossed my ball over to the grassy area along with everyone else's balls. A few minutes later the trainer asks us to go and get our balls and meet her back at the mats for our ab work out and then stretch time. I walk over grab my ball and head to my mat.
So as I am laying back on the ball crunching I distinctly smell dog poop. I mention to Rhonda that something smells and jokingly she says 'Maybe it's you'. Ha Ha I laugh and continue with the crunches. I keep smelling the smell so I then start looking around, checking the bottom of my shoes etc. I mention to Rhonda again that something smells. Rhonda stops crunching and looks over at me and discovers that my exercise ball has dog poop on it and it has smeared all up the back of my shirt while I was crunching!! Ewwww! At this point everyone in the class is laughing and I completely lose it... I was laughing so hard I was crying and snorting while Rhonda was trying to wipe it up with Kleenex. What a friend... she tried to clean the dog poop off my back for me! Thankfully it was right at the end of class and I was able to take my shirt off and put my warm up jacket on for the ride home. Ugh! I think everyone got a better ab work out from all the laughing!

Laundry Hamper Update: Victoria climbed into the laundry hamper after her nap yesterday and she flipped it over while she was still inside it. She trapped herself inside it because it was wedged up against her bed! But when she saw me with the camera she said 'Cheese!'

Kal and I were still laughing on our ride home and at home...too funny!!! I'm surprised my ball didn't land in the dog poop!!
Well Tammy anytime you have poop on your back, I'll be there for you my friend!!!
Rhonda - I am glad that you guys all got such a laugh out of my bad luck! At least I was a good sport about it :-) But I couldn't wait to get in the shower when I got home!!
Ah ha ha, dog poop on your back! that's good.
It looks like Victoria was trying to harm one of her stuffed animals...its poor little tuft of hair is coming out from under the basket!
Oh god - I am causing myself to have an asthma attack over laughing so hard! LOL - what did Dave say when you got home in just a bra under your jacket?
