WET AND WILD





It has been raining here for about 2-3 weeks now, I had not heard from sir regarding workouts since the hazmat endurance and had assumed it was due to the rain. Although moved into the new unit and work returning to a regular routine I had not yet restarted going to the gym, I got a text from sir in the morning telling me training was on that afternoon and assumed he would be supervising a gym workout due to the weather and was a little worried about how I would go on my current program after close to a 4 week break. I txt’d sir and asked him when I should meet him at the gym and he replied that the workout would take place in the usual park. I asked what we would do if it was still raining and he told me there was sufficient cover that the rain would not worry him…… of course. Silly me. I rocked up and thankfully it was only lightly spitting rain although the ground was well and truly drenched and the grass longer then usual since it had not been mowed recently. Sir arrived and told me to stretch, I worked my way through my stretches leaving any that required sitting or laying down till last, sir noticed my hesitation and mentioned that I was going to probably be drenched with sweat and water by the end anyway so I should just get on with it. Once the stretches where completed I had to do my sit ups and pushups. I completed my usual 100 situps and managed 35 pushups in the 2 minute allotment. Sir then sent me on a 2.4k run (he was being nice and knocked 100m off)

I thought I did badly since I had not run for ages and ended up walking a considerable amount, however when I finished sir told me I had taken 2mintues off my time. He was impressed although I suspect I may not have done the full course by accident. While I was gone he had set up the markers in a line and I was to do the usual run and jog routine until I was unable to do anymore. He also made me carry my sling bag as a weight with my waterbottle and other items in it. The ground was drenched with puddles everywhere which made running hard and the bag kept shifting. I did not manage many before I collapsed. Sir was not happy, he told me to do 20 pushups as punishment and go again but I couldn’t hold myself off the ground, he then said 10sit ups if I was to pathetic to do a pushup but I couldn’t manage any of those either. He was very unhappy and made me crawl on hands and knees through the mud to retrieve the markers. He told me we where going to need to put some serious work into my stamina. And then left me to do my warmdown stretches.
