I SURVIVED! (just barely)
Published Friday, October 13, 2006 by Karen (Cupcake) Carter | E-mail this post
As you may know, yesterday was my last day of boot camp (until I sign up again). On the very first day we were timed in a mile run (walk, jog, crawl) and I was pathetic coming in last at 19 minutes and 50 seconds. Yesterday (after 4 weeks of training) I came in at 13 minutes and 30 seconds! Not stellar in the world of runners, but damn good for me! That's 6 minutes and 20 seconds faster than the first time. I'll take that small victory, thank you very much! As if that's not enough, we had to do timed planks and count push-ups. On the first day I was only able to do one push-up and 25 seconds of planks. Yesterday I did 16 push-ups and my plank lasted 1 minute and 10 seconds!!! I really pushed myself these last few days and boy, am I feeling it! Today, I am hobbling around on throbbing thighs, screaming knees and groaning shoulders, but inside I am jumping for joy! After all, I survived and I can't wait to do it again!
Now, if I can just figure out how I am going to drive myself to Lake Arrowhead tonight. ugh! I am so worried that I won't be able to move at all by the time I am supposed to leave. I need a hot bath, vicodin and a massage.
Update at 4:20pm: I can't go on my scrap weekend. I am miserable. Why does getting into shape have to hurt so much?! : {
