Today marked the halfway point to being done with bootcamp. I think today was worse then last Friday when we ran the mile. Today we did weights, push ups, ran up hills, down hills, sprinted, ran with bands, and had to sit with our legs at 90 degree angles up against a latrine wall.
Do you ever have "movie moments"? I do and I had one today at approximately 5:52 a.m. in that the music was blaring and I went from ice skater jumps, to tae bo kicks down to push ups. And as I was sitting up against the latrine wall after sprinting up a hill and jump jacking for 5 minutes I thought to myself "this must be what concentration camp was like... those poor, poor people."
Anywho - with my halfway mark I've sucessfully lost 2 lbs (we'll see if it stays off), built my arm muscle definition a bit more and can now run the entire 2 laps we do as warm up (I usually have to walk the second half) so for me - that's an accomplishment!
I'm excited to sleep this weekend and just RELAX my muscles so I can start walking normally again.
Happy Friday!

Shape Up... or Ship Out!
As my official bridesmaids duties approach yet again (this time for my cousin in May in Mexico and my sister Kelly in June) I've decided I need to do something to kick this old body of mine into high gear... so my friends, I decided to be brave and sign up for "adventure boot camp". A camp that lasts for 4 weeks, 3 days a week that begins at 5:30 a.m. (for all of you that know what a GREAT morning person I am - you know that this is really reaching above and beyond my capabilities!) Granted, I'm still waiting for the "adventure part" to kick in, but hey - I accomplish more before 6 am 3 days a week than most people do all day so I figure that's got to be worth something, right?
This is about as exciting as my life has been in awhile for in between times, I just work about 80 hours a week and do homework for my 2 grad classes (one more to go and a thesis and I'm done!) and oh ya, sometimes - I get to see my boyfriend Erik which is always a nice surprise. Anywho - so I will try and blog about bootcamp. I've got one from today which reminded me more of concentration camp rather than bootcamp. Stay tuned!
