Boot Camp - Extra Days

Wow! So we aren't even supposed to have boot camp today, but Nandor offered to hold some extra sessions anyway...and the most impressive part about this was that I saw EVERYONE from the class there! I am definitely excited to keep this program going.

I don't know if it was because this was an extra class, Nandor was pissed off, or that I was just out of it, but we hit it HARD today! "Superstar" was at the class, so it was my goal to remain #2 on all of our runs, etc. I kept up pretty well during our opening run (which took us about 1.5 miles around the park including 5 laps around the bases with a jog from 1st through home, and a spring from home to 1st - 5!!!) After that, we ran back to the courts for some more pain. In total we did
-200 Jumping jacks (20, 40, 60, 80; every other 10 was rapid)
-80 squat/lunges
-3 minutes running in the sand
-2 x 1 minute planks
-30 seconds of slow high-knee raises, 30 seconds of high-knee running in place, 15 seconds of slow, 15 seconds of fast (that 15 seconds of slow is KILLER!!)
-some donkey kicks
-some squats...
.... and the list goes on!

Again, I was drenched from sweat and it was a GREAT workout! How do I know this? Well, there was one final run we had to go on, and of course, I was #2, BUT, about halfway through it, I just hit a wall. I couldn't even lift my legs. My body just shut down and I had to walk it back to the courts! While disappointed at that moment, I'm glad I pushed myself to the limit!
