no pain, no. . .how's that go, again?

I hurt. I went to Tae Kwon Do today, and it was going pretty well, even though I really didn't feel like eI brought my A-game. And then at the end, he said we had to pair up and hold each other's feet for 20 sit ups apiece! YAY! The only problem is. . .I can't do twenty sit ups. I can barely do 15 crunches. Although I do two sets of 15 crunches, so I guess that's not actually true. but anyway. So I get to around 13 and I'm to the point where I'm getting about 4 inches of the ground before my body stops moving, and I collapse and think that I am done. But by this time, everyone else was done, and they all start cheering for me. Damn. I can't withstand that kind of pressure. So I try to do more. I even have to get my arms into the action instead of keeping them neatly behind my head. By the time I get to twenty, I'm probably getting 1/4 of the way up, but everyone seems to think this is the greatest thing ever. So they cheer like mad, I get up, and Mr Rhyne does a speech about how great it is that we help each other out, and rewards the people who led the cheering with a black belt attitude tape, which is required to advance, and he rewards me with one also, for not giving up. So, I got rewarded for being a lame-ass wussy. YAY! Now I'm still shaking and my muscles hurt. Oh well. It'll hopefully pay off in the long run. Unless I die. But the good news is. . .I'm going to be an auntie!
