Boot Camp, Day 1.

Hello campers readers.

So today was the first day of boot camp. The class was great...it was about 6 of us plus the instructor. It was a chilly morning, chilly for South Florida anyway..in the 50s!. I woke up at 7 to get a light breakfast before the class at 8am...by the time 8am rolled around, I truly felt ready to go.

After warming up, we did a push up and run test. I guess the last week we do the same tests and gauge how much we improved.

My results...
I was able to do 20 push ups on my toes + 15 on my knees. . The run was about a 1.2 mile run, as fast as you could go (did I mention it was in the 50s??...brrr). I was the newbie camper and came in first!! woohoo, my moment of glory!. My time was 9.10, not too shabby for just over a mile. I'm hoping to be in the 8s on the last week, we will see!

After that, we did 3 stations with 2 sets of 3 different types of exercises in each (lunges, squats, jumping rope, push ups, etc). after each station, we would run around the court after and finished up the class with one last time through all the stations (one set only). It was a good workout and I'm still feeling it!...(specially in my legs!)

BUT...

:(

It was not as good as my last Boot Camp. The one I attended for a little over a year and was forced to give up because of moving :(( ...ahhh, how I miss that Boot Camp. It was awesome! I'm trying to convince my sister to go so I can live it through her ;)

But it's ok, this one was still great and there is still nothing like getting a good workout outside!!. The rest of the day I felt energetic and great...until about 3pm, when I felt ready to crash and for a nap. Right now it's almost 5pm and I'm sipping a little Java, just to get me through!.

Tomorrow it's Day 2!. I don't think I can manage to run anymore today, so I will call that a day and hope to go running Friday and Sunday.

Happy Hump Day!
