I'm officially DEAD.  Holy crap--it was so hard at the end.  I loved it though!  I thought it was a super clever way to combine the season with some awesome sweat.  Speaking of sweat--I don't think I have ever sweat more during a workout.  My body was working so hard!  My average heart rate for the workout was 174.  That's higher than it is during my runs!!  It took me 43 minutes to get through everything.  WOW.  

PS--when was the last time any of you did a cartwheel?  It's been forever for me, but they are way fun!  I recommend you go do one today just for nostalgia's sake!

Merry Christmas everyone!!
