Today's boot camp was awesome! While it's still brutal getting up at 5:30 (especially after staying up past midnight watching the Phelps beast dominate in Beijing), I actually enjoy the initial 5 minute warmup runs we do now.
The main theme of today's workout was to "up the ante". By this, I mean we pushed our planks out to 5 minutes, used the higher resistance red bands (instead of green), and even attempted one-hand pushups after doing 60 normal ones (yeah, right...I did the first 20 normal, then the rest were on my knees -- still beastly for me). As for the one-handers, I managed to squeeze out 3 on each hand to about 30%-40% of the way down. (We were trying to do 5 on each hand)
Anyway, I think I'm starting to understand the difference between "more of the same" and really "pushing it"
Anyway, I think Asia has 4-5 miles planned for us tomorrow. I'm gonna try and "push" it - we'll see what happens

Are you still fat?
fat is not such a nice adjective... there's rotund, portly, hefty, or as indians like to say: "healthy". amish is well on his way to being none of the above!
