Wow-I can't believe we're at Week 5 of BC! Boy this is going by fast. It didn't help that last week we didn't go. Well we were there on Monday but due to some miscommunication, we were at the wrong location. Oh well.

Last night was at the Academy again. I'm starting to like that WAY too much. It beats the alternative of rolling around on the wet cold grass.

So here's my reflection on last night's workout:
Rowing-Wow I could tell what a difference when using my legs more. What I did differently than other times was adjust the feet thingy. The strap was more across my midsole section as opposed to towards my toes. What a difference. My heels didn't raise up as much. Wow! I got that!

Lunges - I think I lost my flexibility! When I lunged down, it felt like my quads just wouldn't stretch enough. That sucked! Or maybe it's not a flexibility issue. Is it strength? Don't know.

Sprints - since it was tag team, it gave me a rest in between sprints. That was just enough to make this doable without really sucking tooooo much. This doesn't mean I wasn't sucking wind. But it made the sprints managable and kinda fun. Yeah I said it. But just KINDA.

Thanks-Giving

Since the meaning of Thanks Giving is Giving Thanks for what you have, here's what I'm thankful for:

I'm thankful for my friends. They keep me company. My friends encourage my endeavors, whatever they may be. They are part of my happiness.

I'm thankful for Eric and bootcamp. I'm healthier because of it. I'm happier because of it. And I have met some good friends and Dave because of it.

My family, because they are family.

I'm thankful I'm healthier than others. I'm able to walk, see, taste and hear. I can eat. There's food on the table. I have a home and I have STUFF. Maybe too much stuff.

I live in a country where there's food in abundance. I live in a country where others will fight for my freedom instead of trying to take it away. I live in a country where we can openly debate the election of the first African-American president. I live in a state where we can openly debate the right or wrong of same-sex marriage.

And I'm thankful Dave's in my life. He used to keep up with me. Now I'm trying to keep up with him. He shows me how to be goofy just because he IS. I'm thankful he's on a path that is the same path I'm on.

I hope everyone has a list like this to be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving.
