Last night we were invited to see Commissioner Amy Pellman becoming the Honorable Amy Pellman. I can't really express how special that was to witness. It still makes me a bit teary-eyed to think of this. What a BIG honor. This just reinforces how enriching bootcamp has been in my life. Without bootcamp, I would never have been part of this.

I wonder if I can link this in 6 steps to Kevin Bacon?

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.
