I opted for the vet workout this morning. Last night I thought that was a wise choice. That was before I realized Katie is a saddist who likes to torture people. I looked in at the instructors who were doing the info session with the new campers. They were just leisurly sitting around listening to my favorite lead(heavy sarcasm) give an expose on bootcamp. Then, the PT.
Not to say that the PT isn’t hard, but honestly…when you are sitting there doing sprints, squats, then air chair, you re-evaluate your options. Option A) PT, Option B) Torture. Suddenly Option A is looking alot more interesting.
Seriously though, I loved the work out. For the first time in months I finally feel like we’re really living up to the Bootcamp hype.

Overly Perky 26 Year Old January 29, 2010

So it wasn’t the fastest mile, and it wasn’t the longest run, but it was pretty inspirational. It was Final PT day for the campers and as usual I was doing TLC (which I actually like for Final PT day).
It was fun because Randy is an older guy and I can tell that he doesn’t always appreciate my overly perky 26 year old self. That’s ok though, because when it comes time to get his butt moving I’m there in his ear to bug him. Lucky him.
Every time there was a downward grade (I wouldn’t say downhill because it’s definetly not a hill) I would push him to run just a little bit faster. If he started to slow I’d say “Keep up your pace, you’re doing great!”. Then, when it came time for that last little bit, just when you think you have nothing left, I said “There’s the finish! Let’s sprint to the end! Meghan’s waiting!”
Randy may have hated for for about 9:30 minutes, but when the time was called he had a big smile.
I guess overly perky 26 year olds are good for something after all. Great job Randy!

On Your Six Indoors January 27, 2010

Officially sore for Five Star General, but always up for a good woopin’ I couldn’t wait to see what Jodi would do to us this month with On Your Six. This time was insane. The stations she picked were very challenging. I started with Superman at the end thinking it would ease me into the rotation. WRONG! The next two stations were Mountain Climbers and then Burpees. Ugh. Just when I was about to rejoice that I had finished the Burpees I sprinted to the end to find that my next station was, guess what….Mooorrreee Mountain Climbers. Yowsa.
Jodi also came up with this really cool air chair game. Okay…I’ll be honest, while my quads were screaming at me I wasn’t loving it. After though, knowing that it was a great workout, how can I complain.
Two days in a row of being sore. I’m glad I’m starting to be challenged again as an instructor.

I remember the first day I did this workout in Piedmont Park. It was mass caious and wicked hard. When I saw it on the schedule I shuddered to think of what it would be like indoors.
Emily lead it and I can honestlysay it was an awesome workout and very well organized. My arms were completely sore.
Emily said her heart rate monitor registered 500 some calories burned. I’d believe it. I might have to invest.

6 Miles w/ Cindy January 23, 2010

Today we had the second outing for the running club. We met again at the bike depot. We had 4 or 5 people that were aiming to increase their distance in preparation for half marathons. I jaunted out with them.
Cindy is one of my favorite people. She and I set out at a pretty good pace, but it wasn’t long before Brian the Bullet caught up with us. He and his wife Erika are definetly the fastest people in the group. We all decided that 3 out and 3 back was the perfect distance.
We had such a good time running and talking. We actually kept a pretty good pace. Our time was better than my last 10K. I think It was Cindy. She kept me going at a good pace.
I am feeling a bit sore now though. I think my body is ready to get back to running after these last few weeks of taking it easy.
Sadly I think I’m going to have to pick another marathon to train for. I’ve already missed some early milestones to train for Nashville. 
I could force myself to jump up, but it just wouldn’t be wise. I have a half in March and April planned, so I am trying to find something in June/July time frame. Yes, I know that’s going to suck with the weather, but what else can I do?

Jump Rope January 20, 2010

To be honest, jump rope is not my favorite workout activity because I’m completely uncoordinated. Combine that with the fact that it’s 6am in the morning and I haven’t had coffee yet, the goal is really to look the least stupid.
This time was really fun though. Tommy lead it, and it was the perfect balance of jump rope and strength training. He had us do Mission Impossibles through the parking lot with our arms out. After about 3 minutes of that my glutes were burning. Then back to jump rope. Sphew. Sore!!!
I’d also like to announce, that if I was 1 when I started jump rope workouts I have progressed to at least a 4. Not great, not good, but definetly improved.

Today was the much anticipated first day of the OBC Smyrna Running Club which Jodi and I are heading up. I was sharing my “running story” this morning with the campers, and it hit me that only 3 or 4 years ago I ran my first mile at that very spot. If you would have told me then that I’d be leading a running club I would have laughed in your face. What a long journey it has been.

Well after being officially taken out of commission for a few days I finally got back to bootcamp on Friday. I’m glad it was a stationary workout and I was able to focus more on helping campers with form. I was perkier than previous days, but still drained from the whole ordeal. With only 2 hours of sleep I definetly was not going to be winning prizes for perkiest instructor.
