You Have Violated Your Contract
Tomorrow is the last day of this cycle of Boot Camp. The three-day-per-week option was awesome and I really liked it. My body was much more used to it this time and I had few problems, other than some periodic sore muscles and shins. Yesterday during class, we warmed up with what our trainer calls “Personality Sprints.” We stand on the tennis courts and she’ll call out something like, “Sprint if you have a pet at home! Sprint if you went to bed early last night!” and you sprint across.
Beth and I get a big chuckle (and a big workout) out of this, because the trainer inevitably calls these, all in a row: “Sprint if you like wine… if you like beer… if you like hard stuff.” And Beth and I are usually the only ones who have to sprint all three times. Our trainer pointed out as we ran that it says in our Boot Camp Contract that we will refrain from drinking during the entirety of Boot Camp. I thought, “But I’m not drunk NOW,” and Beth yelled out, “Well, then, I QUIT.”
I’m still cracking up about that today.

You have to sign a boot camp CONTRACT? A contract, no less, that says you WILL NOT DRINK??

Well, we basically just sign something that says we won’t sue her if our legs fall off or our hearts stop or whatever. Anyway, I don’t think it really says that in the form we sign. She was just being a wise-ass.
It does say we’re not to use foul language, though. :-”

Phew! I’m not a contract lawyer, but, I’d have to say that one that doesn’t let you drink would be illegal as against public policy! : ) Hmm, not that one that doesn’t let you use foul language while you’re sprinting sounds too reasonable, either…

Does it really say no foul language? How the fuck have I lasted this long?

You’re not the one who said “fuck” in front of her 8 year old son.

Purely because I don’t have an 8-year-old son.
If I did, it would have been his first word…
