Boot Camp - Week 3

OMG - it is sooo humid! Nandor showed up about 10 minutes late (he said he 'overslept' which is a good thing because I was under the impression that he always came to boot camp from somewhere, implying that he gets up at 4am or something crazy like that)!

So we started off with Indian Runs - joined the fast group and I was feeling like a million bucks - no cotton mouth, going faster than everyone - all in all, I think my running is starting to take shape.

As for strength, that's a whole different matter. Whenever we do plank, pushups, inch-worm, mountain climber - basically anything involving me holding myself up with my arms, my shoulders ache so badly! I wonder if my shoulders are just THAT weak, or if I'm in a weird position. I think I'll try first to directly strengthen them and that means that EVERY off day (T, Th, Sa, Su) I need to do pushups. At least 10 - hopefully 20 or 30. I think if I can do that, I should start to be able to handle the exercises at boot camp much better.

If not, then I think I'll have to ask someone for advice on my form or specialized exercises to strengthen up the right muscle groups.

Anyway - it was a great start to the week and I'm looking forward to pushing 4 miles with Asia and Dave tomorrow!
