I am in my 2nd week of boot camp. I am feeling it in my legs and butt the most. There is something to be said for working out with a group of motivated women. It is amazing; some of these women are obese but they do every exercise and do it well. Times I want to quit and then I see one of these ladies still working at the routine and I think, "If they can do it, so can I". I am very proud of those women. I know how I hurt during and after the hour. Tonight was an awesome workout. We did a lot of running and sprint work. Just what I needed. My favorite was the relay sprints on the basketball court (outside). I am very competitive in sports. Not that I have to win each race/competition, but I have to keep up and push myself to the limit. Not something I can do training on my own. Had a blast with the sprints/ have a feeling tomorrow is going to be painful.
Boot camp is great, but it is nothing like a run. The mental/emotional aspect of my runs can't be matched by any other exercise. It is like a drug to me (not that I have ever done drugs). I crave that mental/emotional "high". As far as my runs, I am missing my long run. I was not able to get it in this weekend due to being out of town. My body is itching for the 8 miles I missed. This week, I will add a few miles onto each run to make up some of the mileage. I am so excited to get out there tomorrow for a 5 mile run around the lake. I was looking at my training schedule yesterday and got real excited when I realized that I am on my home stretch!! The race is roughly 6 weeks away!!!!!
