I did a plank off the other night, which is where you hold your plank position for as long as you can, basically until you collapse and die. It's fun in a gross unfun way. Fun if you like shaking and aching and collapsing on the ground. I got 5 minutes and 20 seconds. Plank makes you hurt everywhere- arms, abs, back, legs. Everything was sore. Then for fun and because I couldn't move anymore, I looked up the plank world record and found some 70 ish year old guy who can do it for 33 minutes or something like that! Then just for fun I looked up the wall sit world record. Wall sitting is, in my opinion, one of the few things more horrific than running 13 mile repeats in 5:30 with one minute rest between them. Anyway the world record is by a woman who did the wall sit for 11:51, GROSS! then I realized that was 11 hours and 51 minutes, not 11 minutes and 51 seconds. Okay, considering I scream in pain after about 3 minutes suddenly the 100k doesn't sound that bad after all. I wonder if she just fell asleep like that, then woke up, realized her legs had fallen off and collapsed on the floor. That is what I did after 5 minutes and 20 seconds of the plank, which I can hold for longer than I can do a wall sit. 11 hour and 51 minute wall site- that is probably the scariest thing I have ever heard- happy halloween!
