Today was the last day of the first week of boot camp. We met outside at a park in Douglas County and ran the trail. It was a three mile loop with LOTS of hills. I really, really liked it. I wasn't able to run all of it but I think I will be able to soon, my walking for minimal and I tried to just slow run when I needed a break.
The running instructor ran with me the whole way. She is amazing, she does several marathons a year and she has been really helpful with tips and advice. She showed me an area where I can practice some hill repeats. She said that will help with my time and it will be great for my conditioning.
The only part about the park that makes me nervous is about every 1o feet there is a sign for rattlesnakes. Yuck. But it was early and cool enough I didn't worry too much. I will definitely go back there for running and hill repeats. I think I will take Mary next week when she is here to visit me.
I am so happy that I signed up for the boot camp. I really, really like it and I feel like it is already helping me. It is fun and challenging. Woo-hoo!
My story of life with Tim and my beagle, Maddie. Perhaps some exercise and healthy eating stuff, too.

Rattlers? I don't think I like that.
Hill repeats? Like run up the same hill multiple times? What's up with that? That is some crazytalk.
Hill repeats sound fun! At altitude! You might not be much faster than me!!
