Hi everyone! I had my first poole meeting on Tuesday and let me tell you, it kicked my a**! But it was also a lot of fun. I learned a lot from just the first meeting and I am even more motivated to push myself to be in the best shape possible before I ship. Ladies, all I can say is - RUN!!! Run as fast as you can, run as far as you can, run as long as you can, run as much as you can. We ran about two miles and it was hard to keep up because you have to stay in formation, sound off, and KEEP UP. And it is not jogging or an easy run, it is a full out sweaty lungs burning legs twitching stomach cramping RUN. And according to a newly graduated WM who was at the meeting, they were going easy on us. I asked her what the minimum numbers for the IST are and she looked at me like I was crazy and said, you mean what is the MAXIMUM??? Do not ever do only the minimum or the DI's will give you a hard time, she said even if you can only do one over the minimum, do it if it kills you. But it was so worth it and I felt so good after it was all over. Call me crazy, but I can't wait until my next meeting! Talk to you all later!
