Boot Camp Abuse!

I mean workout! Uphill sprints. Really?? I swear she jogs around the waterfront park just looking for ways and places to torture us. That cute little bench around the planter becomes known for it's tricep dips and step ups. Those evenly placed squares in a circle become every strange quick feet step you can think of, with some squat jumps and plank thrown in for fun. Goose Poop Hill is where the uphill sprints happen. After that crazy workout, I'm really curious to see how the Army training compares this weekend. I'm not sure the recruiters are quite as gleefully sadistic as Marie is. :p I love you Marie!!! :D

I'm a running fool.

Tomorrow is the Cinco de Mayo run, or as I've taken to calling it, the Ocho de Mayo 5k. Yesterday we ran one last practice run and did 3 miles in about 38 minutes. I forgot to start my stop watch at the beginning so that's a guesstimate on time. It was also raining, and not just "that thing you people here call rain", but full blown rain. We were the ONLY runners doing the waterfront loop, and even the bike cops in full slickers told us we were brave. Bat-shit crazy is more like it. I was so soaking wet that water was running down my face. Ah, the joys of running. It still occasionally blows my mind that I'm running 3 miles. Now if only I could get my speed up and my time down. It will happen!! :)
