I made it! Boot Camp is done!

Well...to be honest (both to you and myself), I did oversleep and miss one class this past Monday. That said, I'm pretty stoked to have stuck to this regimen of waking up everyday at 5:30 and doing something active, be it boot camp or the West LA running club.

For our final class, Nandor really turned it up and still managed a way to beat us down. It was pretty simple...run around the park, and then spend 10 minutes in the sand (3 minutes at a light pace, 4 minutes of 15 or 30 second intervals and 3 minutes of a moderate pace). It was killer - this 10 minutes made me play "catch up" for the rest of the class!

Of course, we also had to do our requisite pushups and plank - given the sand workout, we did 5 separate 1-minute planks (as opposed to 5 minutes in one go) and again - I don't know why, but my shoulders keep giving way (I have to admit, if there is one thing I've been slacking on, it's my pursuit towards 100 pushups)

Anyway - we're done - we made it - and guess what...I signed up for more! So stay tuned and hopefully I'll continue to make improvements. (One place where I need to step it up is definitely the pushups)

As for this weekend, I'm going to reward myself with a little trip out to Palm Springs for some R&R!
