This ain't no kids game!

I swear that the boot camp instructor has been following me. When I went out for a run, I saw him, and he started asking me when I was coming back to boot camp class. When I went for a bike ride, I saw him and he started asking me when I was coming back to class. Then, when I went to the swim pool, he was there, asking me when I was coming back to boot camp class.  

So... I went to boot camp class today. Yikes. After a summer break, my body seems to have forgotten everything I learned. When I was done, I felt like I was going to barf. 

Ran around the lake and then went to swim class. I found a friend in swim class that agreed to run a 5k with me before class next week.I hope I can keep up with her.

My muscles are sore from boot camp yesterday,  the first class back after a 6 week summer break, and I paid the price.  I keep wondering - why are there so many steps to get upstairs?  

The little neighbor boy, who I hadn't seen for a couple months, looked me over today and said, "Wow, it looks like you put on a few pounds." I told him thanks for the compliment.  I guess the extra weight I put on over the summer is showing...too much carb loading on non-race days. :)

Legs were tired from too many lunges the day before, but decided to keep my promise to myself and run. I now have a base time for a 5k run.  The race was mostly for the HS cross country team, but a few members of the community ran too. I was happy I wasn't the last one to finish. I beat 5 of the HS girls, yeah! 

Boot camp, 5k bike ride, running errands. Long, hot day.

Met a friend and we did a 5k run before swim class. She did a fast 5k, then met me for a "recovery" 5k. It was fun to visit with someone while running. She is alot faster than me, but said she would run amother 5k with me again next Tuesday.  Swim class seemed long  today. On Thursday, maybe I will try to run a 5k after swim class. instead of before. 

Internet has been off again this week, it has been driving me nuts. BUT it did give me an idea. I'm going to try to entering my workouts on the blog every other day.  

Wed: 50k bike ride with a new bike group I found.  The road bikes took off in a flash and I went with the mountain bike group. I had to work hard to keep up, and was a little saddle sore after 3 hours on the bike, but getting to go off and explore some trails made it fun. I  think I'll ride with the bike group again.   

Thurs: swim and 5k run. I thought running after swimming would be easier than swimming after running, but not really. Its hard either way.  I learned that my swim class has a couple of people who do marathons, and was lucky enough to find a couple of people who don't mind running a 5k with me before/after class. 

Fri: Boot camp

Sat: Got up too late to do a 10k, so did a 8 k run. The friends I was suppose to run with had to cancel due to a medical appt, so I was lazy about getting going on time. Finished before 8am, it was so hot and humid my clothes were dripping wet. I took my shirt off and wrung it out. I threw it on the closet floor and 10 hours later, it was still wet. Gross. My husband was complaining about my stinky exercise clothes in the closet. I suggeseted a hamper with a lid on it. My husband suggested I get a diaper pail. Oh dear.

Mon-Went with the bike group again, a lot slower group so we only did 30k.

Tuesday-Swim day, worked hard. I went and bought a hamper, with a lid , just to put my smelly exercise clothes in.
