i will never be in the army...

ok, so today was so crappy. in my first period weight training class, these army recruiters came and gave us an army workout. oh gosh. first of all, the one guy was SCARY! he made it very clear that he wanted us to be in pain, and i was terrified of him. second of all, i don't think that my body is fully recovered from the race, and then the squats i did a couple of days ago. the result was horrible. i ended up getting pretty sick. i was standing there in squat position for what seemed like an eternity and i started blacking out. then we had to do sprints and wall sits and just turned to my coach and said "i am going to be sick". and then i left. it was so awful! i felt really stupid because i had really wanted to prove to these scary men and myself that i could push through the pain and show everyone that i am not weak! but i ended up having to quit. so of course, i was bawling forever because i am a total baby, and then the whole rest of the day i was just crying randomly! argh! it was bad. by third period, i really felt awful, and i was just sitting there in english when all of a sudden my coach sticks her head in and asks me to come out in the hall. so i go out there and she is like "are you ok?" what do you think i did? i started bawling again of course. she was way awesome about it though and gave me a hug and stuff. she's such a fun coach. she's just an intern going to byu and sometimes it feels like she is just one of our best friends. its awesome. anyway, that was the awful story of today, and now you all know that while i can run for a long time, i really am a wimp and i wouldn't even last 1/2 an hour in the army. :( good thing i never wanted to do that anyway huh?
