Week 1, Day 5, 25% thru Boot Camp!

This morning was cool, it had rained, and the temperature was a mere 51F.  Only the hearty showed up on time - only 5 of us!  Ten minutes into our work out - another 5 showed up.  Like why show up late and miss the warm-up?  Makes no sense to me at all.
So with swollen knee at least I showed up !  We did circuits and running, and more circuits and more running.  I ran a little and finally could only walk fast - you do what you can do I guess.    We used "kettle bells" today - I actually like them and always wondered what the heck you did with them!

Another of the intervals was  resistance bands around your ankles and take steps sideways.
I was like - oh yea -  this was one my PT for my knee exercises!

I didn't ride my bike to "bib pickup" was not all that sure that I would make the trip back - so Jenelle and I drove.  The T-Shirts are great for the Midnight Sun Run - not sure with this swollen knee that I will be running it - which means I have to give the T-Shirt away if I don't run it!  Any takers?  Size Medium!

I was sure that she had ended the Boot Camp early today - was surprised that it was over when she ended ~ I think that is good :-)

Here is to two days of rest - my plan is to bike so that my knee does not totally lock up - but no 5:30am alarms - life is good, glad I am doing this!

For all that continue to remind me that "20 years old I am NOT"  - like I need to be reminded ~ I have an appointment with my orthopedic surgeon's PA on Tuesday - Alright Already!

Well we did have to walk all the way through the Park and then carry those heavy T-Shirts back again :-)

Oooo a tshirt from Alaska! Wish I weren't a runner with the same dumb rule of "gotta run the race to wear the shirt"... if you mail it to me, I may break my rule because alaska is so cool!!!
