Thursday July 1st: Plycore -- All out of sorts workout

This class was a mess for me.  It started with pain in my Achilles.  Unfortunately, my foot just wasn't getting better, so I spoke with out instructor before class about doing an alternative to stairs in the workout, and we were able to figure out some exercises that would help to strengthen my Achilles.  However, I would have some other problems later in the workout that would keep me from even getting that far.  The next problem was that I could tell that I was getting sick.  I had been trying to fight off the sniffles all week, but I wasn't working.  I had been feeling rundown for a while now, but I was trying to chalk it up to depression from my wife being out of the country and fatigue from helping my cousin move and driving a lot, but as the week progressed I could tell that my body was fighting something.  But, I still  proceeded with the workout, but I misread what we were supposed to do and ended up doing a workout that was very different form the rest of the class.  It was still a good workout, but not what I was supposed to be doing.  It was just fitting when you consider how out of sorts I was feeling.

The Workout:

Run outside .6 miles
100 Crunches
5 chin ups
lap inside 1/15 of a mile
100 Crunches

100 Squats
5 chin ups
lap inside 1/15 of a mile
100 Crunches

100 Squats
50 push ups
5 chin ups
lap inside 1/15 of a mile
100 Crunches

100 Squats
50 push ups
5 chin ups
lap inside 1/15 of a mile

I messed this up because I was only supposed to do 100 Crunches, Squats, and 50 Push ups, not 400 crunches, 300 Squats, and 100 push ups!  I misread the directions and wasn't paying attention to what the rest of the class was doing because everyone was spread out and not everyone did things in the same order.
