Bootcamp bitches

This post is for yesterday, 24th October (Monday).

Yesterday was hilarious because I was busy doing things all day but they were all things I really enjoyed doing. Which is strange for me. But refreshing!

At 9am I went for a walk with Mum along the river, which I love walking/running along water so the river and the beach are amazing. Then at 10am I met my friend Conrad for breakfast/coffee/meeting to talk about uni stuff which was lovely, I had fruit (which to my absolute horror cost $9 and was barely anything) and Chai Tea. Then after looking in some bookshops with Conrad I bought some books and sat in a different coffee shop and read one of my new books for an hour or so waiting to meet Tim for lunch. At 12.30 I met Tim for lunch and then after that we went to yet ANOTHER cafe for more coffee! Then I got home at 3.30 or so, kept reading my book and then went to bootcamp at 5.30.

My sister bought a Scoopon which was $20 for 20 bootcamp sessions and we started last night. We'll be doing it on Mondays at 5.30pm and Thursdays 6.15am for 10 weeks. It was really good, quite hard, you can really push yourself as much as you personally want. What i liked best was that there was heaps of people and a real range of fitnesses. Because there were a bunch of really fit people, that really pushed me to work my ass off to try and keep up with them. Also because I didn't know what was coming in the session, I was able to totally switch off and focus purely on the workout. I couldn't think. Which was wonderful. The session was in a mixture of pushups, sit ups, burpees, running, hill running, squats, lunges, tricep dips etc etc. It was at Kings Park and stretched from the Jacobs Ladder corner of Kings Park all the way past the War Memorial end. The session included the Kokoda being smashed 3 times. Once is fucked enough but THREE TIMES! Awesome, but fucked.
