Last night was boot camp. I don't run on those nights yet. I started boot camp in the beginning of the month and have grown to really love it!! However come January, I know I'll only be able to go 1, or max 2, times a week. It is such a great overall workout, AND it's not before the sun comes up! They offer classes at night. (check them out- peakfitness) I'm not a fan of lifting (thank you uncc) but the way they mix in circuits and intervals and light weights and sometimes no weights, is just right for me :). And each morning after, I am reminded of the workout by how my body says "thanks" in a VERY slow moving type of way :). (also another reminder of just how not so young my body is slowly becoming, grrr! "I remember when I was a young whipper-snapper" at Charlotte and would lift, practice, and condition all in one day! That was after I walked UPHILL to the fields and back! hahaha) But I honestly think that this bootcamp nonsense that Jessica talked me into will only help with my endurance once the training picks up :) So thanks for suckering me into it Jessica! :)
I hope these painful run on sentences, poor grammar, wrong punctuation marks, and overall babbling will shed some light into this crazy thing I call my life... Do I have the most fascinating job in the world? No. (I'm a nanny!!) Do I have the most glamourous house in the world? No. (Have you seen the horsehair plaster?!) But what I do have is an incredibly competitive side that is competing with the doubts I have... I'm not too worried, I know I can do this. I just have to be patient and shut off the negative thoughts I am conjuring up about running 26 miles and 385 yards...
Will my knees be able to make it past a 13 mile run, not just once, but 8 times BEFORE the big day!?!? Will my asthma hinder any of this?! Will I have the discipline to get out and run an obscene amount of miles week after week!? We shall see. The magic 8 ball says "all signs point to yes" :) And I'm counting on that black sphere to be correct!
Until tomorrow... :)
