BLAST Week #2

Another week of bootcamp is in the books. This one did not go as well. I ended up missing two of the workouts; not because I wanted to but because it was cold and the location got switched to indoors. To get to the indoor location I have to drive 10 minutes, plus in the mornings I have to leave 15 minutes early so Chris can get to work on time. With 20 minutes of driving and another 15 for making it home on time it's not worth stressing about. I did make it to the first two of the week.
Day 1, Monday:
This one we've seen before; well, something similar to it. It was called the 12 Days of Christmas. It went just like the song: do #1; do one rep of #1, two reps of #2; do one rep of #1, two reps of #2, three reps of #3; do one rep of #1, two reps of #2, three reps of #3, four reps of #4; etc. The difference this time was the exercises we did. I actually really enjoy this workout and if I wouldn't have had to leave early I'm sure I would've finished the board! I got to #10 then headed home so Chris could get to work. #1 was suicides - which meant lots of running! The last exercise I did was dive bomber pushups. It was a great variety of exercises!
Day 2, Tuesday:
I went to the evening class since the morning session got moved indoors. It was a great little workout. We got to have a partner which is always fun. My partner and I managed to finish the entire board - yea us!! We had to do the board three times and each round we had to increase the reps we did. Our first set was Burpees/Plank. My partner did 10 burpees while I held the plank then I did burpees while he held the plank. Then we did five more exercises this way before starting over and increasing the number of reps. It actually was a lot fun. While we worked out, my good friend Rebecca had to do the lap of death = flip the tire around the track while stopping every quarter or so to run a lap. She did great!!
Tuesday was also my weekly run. I went to Johnson's Beach and ran 2 miles on the beach road then did 1.5 miles back on the sand. The first part was great - nice and flat with packed sand, the last half mile was a different story since it was sloped and soft.
Wednesday night was my weekly run at WOB with Team RWB. It was a great run. I had my fastest 5k in ages (just under 28 minutes). It felt great!!
Thursday morning was moved inside again so I missed the morning session. I can't make the evening sessions because Katelynn has her therapy and we don't get home until after 6 pm.
Thursday was also another run day - that I did manage to accomplish! I met Ian and ran about 2 miles with him in his C25K training then I headed over to the beach and ran 2 more miles in the sand. The entire run was mostly soft so it was slow going, but it was still a great run.
Friday morning for bootcamp was moved inside again and there is no Friday evening class, so I missed the last two days this week. Thankfully, Rebecca sent me the workouts. On Saturday I knocked out the Thursday workout. I drug my family over to the track with me and the kids had fun doing the workout with me. Chris didn't want to do it, so instead he started flipping the tire which turned into his completing a lap of death (minus the runs).
I set myself up like I was at class:

 I got some pictures of Chris flipping the tire (how low can you go?!?):

 Denver wanted to help!

 Katelynn doing mountain climbers with me:

 I love this picture because it looks like she's checking out my form:

 "lower Mom!"

 In and outs

 Hammering out my quads which were on fire at the end!

There were a lot of lunges (120 per leg) in this workout, plus some running, and a ton of squats. My legs were not happy. In fact they hurt for the rest of the weekend. I skipped my Sunday run to let them recover; still not sure if that was such a smart idea or not.
