Workout, Week 2

This week I had:

Tuesday, Bootcamp
Wednesday, Running
Thursday, Bootcamp
Friday, Kickboxing

The highlight of my week was how good I felt running on Wednesday in my upper body. I felt like I could run forever and wasn't out of breath or winded or anything, BUT my shins (shin splints) hurt the worst they ever have. I almost couldn't walk home. I did run a mile though, faster than ever before which was so awesome. Bootcamp this week was great - no soreness this week really. Kickboxing, as always, was an insane workout but was so rewarding. As of today I haven't eaten out in 7 days! Last Sunday was a splurge day and as a result I didn't have any change in weight this week but I also didn't gain so that is positive. Trying to decide to let this day be a splurge day or not to see how it affects weight loss in the week. Starting week 3, I feel so good that Im doing this. I'm having to take a break from running per the trainers request, so that my shin splints have a chance to heal. But once those shin splints are back on track Im off and running!

Bootcamp Day #2, Kickboxing Day #1, Running Program

So Bootcamp Day 2 was pretty rough esp with being sore from day 1. But nothing compares to kickboxing day 1, holy moly is kickboxing a workout. Nothing like I've ever done before and man was I sore that night. Look forward to more kickboxing in my future for sure because that stuff is legit. After bootcamp on thursday, kickboxing on Friday, the 20 week running training program kicked off on Saturday with a group run. There were 91 people there! We had a time trial for a mile and I made it in 15 minutes, which is sadly really good for me. We have running homework during the week on our own and then every Saturday we all run together. I think its going to be great! Started having shin splint issues again sadly just after that one run on Saturday - gonna check with trainers about what they suggest.

Bootcamp Day #1

Started 6am bootcamp today with a few girls from school. I tried to arrange about 10 of us to start, but ended up with 3 plus me going at 6am and Amber who goes at night. We are doing two days bootcamp, and one day kickboxing. Today, our first day, went really well and I love our trainer who really respects each of our own individualized abilities and pace. The soreness is setting in tonight, but its the soreness that I like because I know I worked hard!! Looking forward to this journey!
