physically challenged

I have one week left before my first agility test.

-I have to move the tire 5 feet with a sledgehammer
-balance myself across a horizontal ladder then lift it and hang it up over my head...pull it back down and place it back on the ground.
-Hand over hand pull a rope with 35 pounds of hose on the end up the equivelant of 4 stories and then carefully lower it back down.
-climb a 25 foot extension ladder leaned up against a building
-climb 4 flights of stairs with 45 pounds of hose on my shoulder then back down
-and drag a 165 pound dummy 100 feet

all in about 10 minutes.

One week left to get myself ready for it.
I had tried to start training several weeks ago and actually have done a fair job compared to the amount of training I did before, which was nothing.

I tried to inlist the boy friend to kick me into gear....in hopes that he would be a hard ass on me because I fail to motivate myself out the door everyday to train.....he's got too much stuff to worry about to have the mental space to be a hardass on me, allthough he gave it quite a go....I should have joined the gym back a few weeks ago when I had a bit of extra cash.....but should haves and could haves aren't any good to me now....

in one week we'll see how well I've done as far as getting myself strong like bull.

I have to do this....I just have to.

I'm deffinatly stronger than I was, so that's a really good thing. I just hope I'm strong enough.

This week I have to be very good to myself and nourish and care for my body extra nicely....AND I have to get stronger without hurting myself....wouldnt be much good at the agility with a pulled muscle or broken elbow.
