Boot Camp is not Yoga

I hit the 6:00am boot camp workout this morning. We did jumping jacks, push-ups, 8-count boby-builders, burpies, crab walk, bear crawls, leg raises, leap frog jumps, and then ran a single file pace line around the neighborhood rotating a 25 pound bag of sand between us. Good times! Sprinting with a 25lb bag on sand over your shoulder was different.

8-count body builders are horrible. Standing in wet dewy grass, in the middle of a baseball field, squatting down, jumping into a push-up position, then jumping legs out, legs back in, push-up, jump to squat, then jump up in the air as high as you can. Do that sometime - 25 times, as fast as you can. Do it near something you can lean on afterwards.

Sunday I rode 92 miles then ran 5. A solid brick workout. It was yet another windy ride. I felt OK on the run, not really in the mood to do 21 more miles, but OK.

A friend of mine extended an offer to run a 30 mile trail run this weekend in Warsaw, IN. I might give it a go - slow and easy.

My kids started swim team yesterday - their very first practice. Before they got into the water I was going to tell them that it would hurt. I decided not to - just to let them learn. My younger son got out of the water later, it was cold, he was shivering, he was a little weepy, and he said "I hurt all over".
