Today was the last day of boot camp for ’09 (and for me for awhile). I hate that EP travels like he does because this can’t be a part of my every day life with him traveling. I should be able to at least attend 1-2 weeks in January. For now, the whole camp is breaking two weeks.
When I started out three weeks ago I was signed up to attend 10 sessions. Because of my detour, I missed out on the rest of week one. Then, when I got started back up, I missed because EP was gone. Then this week I missed one session because Starlet had kept me up overnight. So, I made 5.5 of ten. 
That first day, I thought I was going to die. Like, seriously, thought I may pass out right then and there. But, after completing this week I was blowing and going. I ran a mile with ease. I could jump without being scared (okay, maybe I’m still a wee bit nervous). My core feels tighter. My muscles feel good. I ran hills in the dark backwards. Learned about snot rockets. Peed in the grass. Worked out in 30* temps at 5:30 am. But most importantly I feel AWESOME and, an added bonus, the scale dropped 2.5 lbs. Overall, I am SUPER satisfied with this course.
The instructor, Anna, is a delight. She doesn’t let you quit, she pushes just right and she’s ALL about positive reenforcement. Okay, have to admit, all the positive talking wasn’t my favorite thing at first, but today when I was running and cheering on my group of girls, I totally understood. Anna’s influence had rubbed off, we were working as a team because of the environment created around us.
So, locals (and i can see you), go check out this site and think about it. WWW.DFWBOOTCAMP.COM
Excuses? Here are my answers…
Yes, getting up at 5 to be there on time is hard. I have to say, though, I feel energized all morning because I’m up, have worked out, and dressed all before the kids wake up (also yielding to a pretty good morning quiet time!).
Yes, it’s cold. I promise you, once you get moving you don’t even remember that its cold. I honestly feel like my body is working harder in the cold because I’m working and trying to keep warm. (By the way, when its ridiculously cold or rainy, there is an indoor facility that is used.)
Yes, it’s hard, but nothing a beginner couldn’t handle. There are people of all skill level there. Some have never worked out, some are trying to get back into the swing of things, other are fitness freaks! Everyone works at their own pace. And no one is ever left behind!
