I anticipated many people to come out to the expansion launch of Acacia Sole Sistas +1 but what I didn't anticipate was NOT running. Two people who were expected to come together but never did show up had us all waiting and wondering where they were. So when I made the decision to continue on without them, to get everyone geared up and out the door for a run, it was too late. Mother Nature started pouring down on us right as I opened the door. Seriously, it was as if she had totally waited for me and anticipating shocking me as such.
Executive decision: do we run in the rain of train inside the clubhouse?
We took a vote.
Train inside the clubhouse won.
Ten stations at 1 minute a station, with a 20 second break in between each station. We then did two rounds of the ten stations. It was when we were on the ninth station that one girl sat down. I yelled out to her "that isn't a station... get up!" She got up, yup, she definitely got up, but then she puked. If only she had lasted another minute and a half, she would have successfully completed the entire workout.
I had a mean girl moment when I saw her sick, knowing that karma was at play here for a prior incredibly stressful situation, two actually, that involved her, me, the Lil' Sistas and my merch. I won't go into the details but will say this, she had a lot of balls showing up at my clubhouse wearing what she did on her head. No one but me noticed though.
What did she wear, you ask. She wore a "I Am Empowered" cap; an item I've never actually made. Instead, she took the file I had sent her for the creation of something else and took it upon herself to print it on a cap. I'm okay if she wanted to play around and test out different fundraising merch for my Lil' Sistas Project but a heads up would have been appropriate. Instead, I saw a picture of her wearing it on Facebook. I found it among pictures she posted of my Lil' Sistas, an incredible break of trust because pictures of all the Lil' Sistas are to be blurred.
So yeah. I wasn't impressed but what was I to do?! I couldn't exactly call her out today on wearing it. I didn't want the others to be uncomfortable and, honestly speaking, I think she's seriously clueless about what she's done. I think she honestly sees no fault, nothing wrong with what she did.
So yeah, when she got sick and puked, I had a mean girl moment when I shook my head and thought that this was karma dealing with her for me to see. Does that make me mean in saying that? Perhaps, maybe, but it was true. I didn't purposely make her puke. I trained her hard and then karma took over.
