Went for another lunch time run. I am much less sore this week compared to last week but I felt like my legs had lead in them today. Since starting the Boot Camp class I feel like my soreness is holding me back more than cardiovacular endurance(I’m not sure how to explain it). I guess [...]

Starting my second week of Boot Camp Class. I can definetely feel like I’m improving - except with my push ups - I actually felt weaker today. The 4 hours of sleep I got last night might also have something to do with that so I’m going to cut myself some slack.

I won the battle this morning between sleeping an extra 45 minutes and getting out there to run. I’m happy to report that I’m only mildly sore after my boot camp session yesturday. Felt a little sluggish although today was different. Usually I feel like it is my cardio pace that is holding me [...]

Hit the elliptical again after class today. I think tomorrow I will feel up for a run.

Well I’m happy to report that I’m getting over the hump. I’m much less sore today and don’t think I will suffer as much from today’s work out. A little weak on my push ups today but otherwise a solid work out. I’m really glad that I’m taking this class and will probably sign up [...]

Had time to hit the elliptical machine before having to go to work. I thought it would be a little more gentle on my sore muscles then running.

Tried to pace myself since I’m still pretty sore. I hope this will improve and that I will not be this sore for the next 5 weeks, I can’t imagine that is good for me.

I’m feeling pretty sore today, more sore than I was expecting. The boot camp instructor said we still need to do cardio exercise 3-4 times a week. I wasn’t able to run at work yesturday but got out today. Did not pressure myself with the pace at all.

I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was envisioning having to run through tires, low crawling, climbing walls with lots of yelling. It’s not really like that at all. The first 30-45 minutes is individual work on nautilus or free weights then 45 min of callisthenic exercises - variations of push ups, [...]

Wow this cold really threw me for a loop. After almost a week since exercising felt up for a bike ride which is easier on my lungs then running. Felt good. Time is approximate.
