Boot Camp Day 6...

Last boot camp class!  Well, at least the last class that I've payed for.  I think I may see what my sweet husband thinks about me going once a week.  I hate to give it up!  It's such a good workout, and I feel like I'm starting to see results!

One more class to go!  I'm actually kinda sad.  I would love to keep going, but at $10 a class, I just don't think it's in the budget.  Maybe I can recreate it on my own?  I'm not sure I'll be able to push myself as hard on my own though. :(

Beat the storm...

I got in a run yesterday morning just in time!  I knew there was a thunderstorm coming and had Jon on standby to come rescue me if it started before I could get home.  I made it just in time....it started raining when I was two houses from home!

Yesterday's distance:  2.1 miles

Boot camp day 3...

Today was much easier than last week!  Not sure if the class was actually easier, or if I am getting better!  {maybe a little of both?} I did come away with a blister on the ball of my foot...no good!  Hopefully it will heal fast!

Sunday Runday....

Got up this morning and watered my new flowers!  I noticed that it was nice and cool and decided to go ahead and get my run in for the day.  I'm glad I did because by the time I got home it was warming up quite a bit...but then again, so was I!

I was thinking while I ran that I might just beat this ole body of mine into submission yet!  ;)

25 minutes of running. 1.5 walking.

Today's Distance:  2.22 miles

Evening run and Boot Camp day 2...

Man have I been sore!  Our boot camp instructor recommended that we get in some cardio yesterday, so that's exactly what I did.  I went for a run yesterday evening despite the fact that I was extremely sore.  I did the recommended 25 minutes and got in about 2.3 miles.  This morning it was back to boot camp.  Killer!  We did about 2.0 miles total with exercises in between.

10 minute run to start
Circuit {while carrying body bar}of 25 push ups, run, 25 step ups on each leg {on a picnic bench}, run, 25  jumping jacks {with bar}, run, 25 squats--3x all the way through
Jumping squat suicides--3x {although she had me stop at 2.
25 sit ups
25 leg flutters
stretch.

kicked. my. booty!

My shoulders are rediculous sore, I can barely hold my arms up to type.  So glad I have a few days to recover now!  This makes cardio look like a cake walk!  ;)

Yesterday's Distance:  2.3 miles
Today's Distance:  2.0

Boot Camp...

I was up this morning at 5 for my first day of Boot Camp!  It was exactly as excruciating as I expected!  The instructor was super nice though, no yelling.  ;)

The class consisted of:
10 minutes of running
jumping jacks with a weight bar, run, squats with a weight bar x 3
burpies or mountain climbers and suicide runs x 4
1 push up, 1 dip, 2 push ups, 2 dips, etc up to ten on a park bench
lunges
plank for 30 sec, crunches for 30 sec x 4
reverse crunches
stretching

In case you hadn't guessed, it kicked my ass!  All in all I really liked it!  The first one is always the hardest, so I'm glad to have it out of the way!

I've been instructed to drink lots of water today, and get in some cardio tomorrow.  Then we'll do it again on Saturday!

Now, all I have to do is stay awake for the rest of the day!  Good times!

Total Distance:  1.8 miles {of running/walking}
