Boot Camp: Week 1

We were last in everything, and some things we couldn't do; but nobody worked harder on that field than the two of us. We're the fattest in the class (by far), and I'm probably the oldest. I was doing relays with a women's track athlete currently at Liberty University.

OMFG.

It was HOT (80). Not a cloud in the sky. I was sorry to be without my hat.

We did running, push-ups, jumping jacks, squats, relays, squats, stepping up on picnic benches (we did a very modified version of that), push-ups, squats, running, squats; followed by mat and medicine ball work indoors.

It was too hot. But we did it.

I almost hurled in the dressing room after. I was way overheated. My HRM was beeping at me to SLOW DOWN most of the 75 minutes we were at it.

The pool afterward felt great. I know I sizzled when I made contact with the water.

Next week, we're doing these stairs. I kid you not.

You forgot the lunges. The all the way across a soccer field and back lunges. The relay lunges. The racing lunges. The all-the-fuckin'-way-up-a-goddamn-hill lunges. Did I mention the lunges?

And don't forget that lovely game we got to play... you remember the one where we had to try to stomp on each others toes. Yeah, good times.

Way to go you guys!

I wish I had time for something like that.

I hear you Sassy. This works for us because it meets only once a week, on Sunday afternoons.

We were both very sore... as if we''d been punched over our entire body. The hot tub felt SO good yesterday.
