Second Boot Camp Workout

Another hard Boot Camp "A" workout. I assumed it might be easier today, wrong again.

Nothing against Coach Heather, the Houston Striders, or SMART Training, but this will probably be my last Rice University session. Hauling the bulky step bench, two-five pound hand weights, a jug of water, towel, and a yoga mat to and from my truck WAS NOT FUN (3/4 mile each way!). While this is a beautiful campus with a plush track, there wasn't a bit of shade until the end of the workout. Thank goodness I brought an 1 gallon jug of water. No hard feelings, I'm just better suited for the conditions at Terry Hershey and Memorial Park.

Job well done, Coach Heather. Thanks for all your hard work. Were you a Marine Drill Instructor in another life?... Just kidding, you're an excellent coach. Keep up the good work.

Activity: Run. Included Silly Walks, Strides, and Boot Camp-A
Mileage: 5.40 miles
Warm Up: 2-Miles: 10:20, 9:28
1 stride and 5 x 400 Intervals: 1.40 miles -- 7:53, 3:26 (0.40 miles)
Cool Down: 2-Miles: 10:13, 10:55
Location: Terry Hershey Park
How I Felt: 8

Maybe you could get a little red wagon to haul all that stuff. :)

Yikes, no shade, hadn't thought of that. One reason we start at TH at 7pm is that the sun is behind the trees by the time we're back from the warmup. Will have to cogitate on that one.

No running for you today, William "Bill". Tomorrow's another story :-O
