I went for my training this morning again. I have completely no idea that there will be a make-up fitness test today. That was when I realized that I am not on the mailing list. I have to inform them sometime next week. Back to the fitness test, I thought that to get an A, apart from I must not miss more than four classes, I have to improve from the previous fitness test. Since I did like 11 push-ups in 2 minutes in the first test, I decided to do 12 this time round. Therefore when my tester asked how many am I gonna do, I said 12 :) I did 12 easily and stopped. Then I decided to ask if I really have to improve from the previous test each time round. Apparently that is not the case. They told me that it does not matter and I should keep doing. Hence I did like 40 and they said that I should hit the max of 42. With that, I did like 5 more and I refused to do anymore even though I have like 30 seconds left. That is because I do not want to be really muscular. ARGH!Next was sit-ups in 2 minutes. That was totally disastrous and I do not wish to mention further. I definitely have to work harder on that.
The last component was the 2mile (3.2km) run. I was kinda freaking out cos I last exercised on Tuesday's training, and that was just conditioning. On top of that, we have to run outdoors (the temperature was about 1 degree Celsius. I have a hard time breathing and keeping pace because of the oxygen content in the atmosphere. Coldness does not play a part at all! I guess that I was well-dressed for the run. haha :D I did shave off about 25-30s off my previous timing and was kinda proud of that ;) Nonetheless, I think that it is gonna be hard to be shaving off this amount of timing each time.
In any case, I really like the trainings as I feel that I am back to my disciplined-self. If only UoB has this kind of class as well, how awesome will it be!
I really like the following song, Black and White by G.Na.
