What are you guys doing?!

This was the exclamation of at least 3 women in the parking lot after yesterday's boot camp work out.

What in the world do you think we're doing? Knitting sweaters?!

Started off the with usual loop around what I've affectionately named The Black Lake (Harry Potter REFERENCE just for you Weezie)

Sidebar: who knows what sort of mythical creatures might live in that muck. Though about 1/2 way around the trail I did start to think about swimming across it just for a shortcut/change of pace. Then I realized I'd inevitably get some sort of lesions on my already alabaster skin. Digressing....

This time though, we had backpacks on with our foam mats for the soon to come upper body/ab tortu..err.....workout that was waiting for us. We all admitted that we felt pretty hard core running with the packs past the other park users who sort of gawked in our general direction as we passed them. That might have made the whole exercise worth it.

Then it was bench dips, push ups, bench dips, push ups...you get the idea. This is the part that absolutely killed me. And is still killing me. I had to bend over so my hair met my brush this morning, even after I stretched and soaked last night. I think I busted my wings.

Circuit training proved to be fun and less torturous than I thought as we were only at each circuit for a minute. I'm the kind of person who can only do the same exercise for a limited amount of time. The whole idea of "sets" and "reps" makes me think of doing math problems or something in elementary school.

Then came time for the nubby balls. Of course, this was fodder for my already disgustingly inappropriate sense of humor from the get-go, when I saw Major Payne pop them out of his car and carrying them to our workout area (I was the only one facing him when he was walking towards us with the balls, and of course I yell out "Those are some big balls there!" The look of shock on the faces of the other participants was golden. GOLDEN)

New goal for the weekend: Run/walk every day and find someone with a hot tub. STAT.
