PT on Thursday was fun but painful. We usually do combatives (Army hand to hand combat taining) on Thursdays and this time we did arena. Everyone stands in a circle and two people go at it in the middle. The winner stays, the looser leaves. So the new challenger has teh advantage, they haven't just fought a match. When I got in the circle, I won against the first match. Next guy comes in, and I win my second match. Then the guy running it decides put three people in the ring at once, so I fought a third time and won, barely, then dove in to challenge the last guy. That match ended in a draw and I was just done. Exhuasted and hurting, I could barely stand. Getting through the rest of the day was rough, but worth it.

Then at the end of the day, one of the privates says 'let's go climb ropes again!' When we're running out of things to do, I take them all to the company area and work on climbing a rope to keep them out of the office (where officers will find things for them to do). I couldn't say no, so after that kind of workout, I went and climbed the ropes for a while.

Then Friday morning it was medicine ball PT. one guy had a basket ball filled with sand and coverd in duct tape so we went on a run with. And our officers joined in, a CPT, a MAJ and a LTC. But it was fun, if exhausting, throughing the ball around for about 3 miles. So it's been a rough week for PT, but oh so fun. I love it.
