Getting "pumped"

Even though I'm a distance runner, I've always been a well-rounded athlete. When my foot was injured last summer, I took up this class called "BodyPump," which is a total-body weight training class, to not only improve my strength, but my endurance.
Seven months after I took the plunge for the first time, I decided to take an even bigger one, and go to a training workshop in Lewiston over the weekend to attempt to become an instructor at Bangor Brewer Athletic Club, my home gym.
Knowing two other girls from my gym were going down, I figured it would be easier since I would at least know two other people.
I braced myself for the long weekend Friday, awoke fairly early, got some stuff done, and headed out to be in Lewiston on time for the first session, which would last from 12 noon to 9 p.m.
Once we got down there, we did some introduction-like stuff, and then proceeded to do BP 73, the new release which we would be learning over the weekend. We are launching that same release later this week at BBAC, so getting ahead of the 8-ball a little bit wasn't going to be a bad thing.
After doing BP 73, we were each assigned a track to study and teach the next day, and I drew Triceps, so I really focused on hitting my coreography in that track on Day 1.
We did BP again later in the day, this time with our head trainer, Julie, fine-tuning some things as far as technique go, and we managed to get out just before 8:00, which was good.
After checking into the hotel and grabbing some food, I studying my triceps track as much as I could before memorizing the beats and moves fairly quickly, chatted with my coaches back and Bangor, and headed to bed.
