Crossfit Bootcamp

Well I got the first day of crossfit boot camp done and in the books. It was awesome and the most difficult and painful thing I have ever done. We started off with warm ups which was easy. I though hmmm, this ain't so bad. Then they give us the run down on the work out: 10 strict push-ups, 15 sit-ups, 20 squats with a 9lb kettle ball, 200 meter run. Do this as many times as you can for 60 min. I did 3 reps and thought I was gonna die!!
Just when I thought we were done at the end of 60 min. We had to do 5 planks holding for 30 sec. after the last one I thought they were gonna have to get a craine to get me on my feet. Once up I go to get my things to leave. There are 2 steps going down. Now anyone who exercises knows your legs are like jelly when you've pushed to your limit. So all I can say about those steps is thank god for hand rails!!
I went to step down and almost went all the way down!! I made it to my purse and turned to go and thought how in holy hell am I gonna get back up!?! I grabbed those hand rails for dear life and pulled my way up. As I was leaving the young instructor comes up to me and says you did great. By the end of the month you'll be running a mile.
I don't see that happening!! 200 meters almost killed me and I ran that 3 times!! Anyway all in all, I did it. I'm proud. And I gotta do it again Wednesday. PRAY!!!

    The first days are always the hardest...especially if you don't stretch and rest. I have no problems going to bed with Ben Gay on. My husband laughs and says it keeps his nasal passages clear! We tend to have Ben Gay nights because we are training for a half marathon.

    Lol on the nasal passages. You are a dynamo to be doing marathons!! To be honest I was so glad there was 1 other lady in my age group with about the same fitness level as me. Which is zilch btw. We exchanged phone numbers at the end of class cause we were both helping each other. It would have been so intimidating had I been the only almost 50 year old woman there. But every one was very nice which is really surprising. It's more like a family thing. I've been to gyms and never heard an encouraging word but this crossfit world of folks are just awesome.

    Hahaha. Half marathon. Only half crazy!!! I had a few months that I could not run due to vitamin D deficiency making my hips hurt. Now that I have that under control I am a running fool.
