No, Don't Give UP!

Boot camp started today with running.  I am grateful that I have some experience with running in my previous training.  I have managed to be able to run for about a mile before I mentally sike myself out that I have gone far enough.  I am always blown away with people who can run 15 miles straight.  Today we ran for 10 min which for me is almost a mile.  Secretly I was happy to run because I was thinking the longer we run then there would be less time to do up downs, lunges, and squats!

We managed to get to the lower gym around 5:20am and right away we started with up downs followed by sprints.  Whew are you tired yet, because John was just beginning.  I felt like I was in a yoga video because he had us go from up down to a push up, to a plank followed by a sprint. It was at this point that it crossed my mind to give up on boot camp.  It is very intense but all I could think about is my stupid blog.  I started thinking if I quit then what would I write about so I kept going! Just when I thought I couldn't take it anymore we then went into running  for a bit and during that he went into some basic plyometric drills.

Once we were done with the drills we went into suicides.  For those of you who don't know what that is, it is a exercise where you sprint back and forth from one point to another. Suicide Drill Example. Finishing up we did resistance sit ups with a partner.
