I am working today, Saturday, and I knew I would miss Boot Camp. I usually go on Monday and Wednesday evenings and Saturday morning. So that I wouldn't miss out on 3 sessions this week, I went Wednesday night, and then got up and went to the 5:30 am Thursday session. And it hurt. Oh, how it hurt. I skipped Body Pump yesterday morning because I was still sore.
The good news is that there were only 2 of us Thursday morning and it was more like a personal training session than usual. The bad news is we did a lot-- threw the medicine ball back and forth, carried the medicine ball up and down the stairs (taken 2 at a time), ran, ran some more, ran tied together pulling the trainer (this was abandoned due to the rope squeezing us cruelly round the middle), ran backwards(!) up the steep little hill (I openly rebelled at this-- I was afraid I would fall, and yep, I did fall, but I also ran up the bleepity hill), walked backwards on the treadmill, and then topped it all off with some of the weight machines. Oh, and the jumping. Leo (the trainer) is a fan of the jumping-- I am emphatically not a fan of the jumping. My ankles have been sore for days. I did actually feel energized by starting the day with such a tough workout, but I think that was due to the fact that I am not a morning person and I think I was mostly asleep.
I will be back on schedule next week, with Boot Camp on the regular days, and maybe a few other workouts mixed in. The EP5K is next Sunday, and I am very excited about that. I am going to try to make sure I have enough energy to do well in the race. I am going to head down to the expo either Friday or Saturday-- running stuff to ogle and a goodie bag to pick up! Yay!
