I did a one-hour wonderfully incredible bootcamp that can kill mere mortals.  ;-)  I just wish I could share it with all of you--SO much fun!!  If anyone out there lives in Portland, OR, lemme know, and I'll hook you up.  For the rest of you, it might be worth the airfare.

 

Then I ran 10 relaxing miles.  I actually did not feel very good because my hamstrings were still very sore from the class I'd taught yesterday.  Also, my hip flexor has been bothering me for 3 weeks.  :-(  I'm very sad about that, but hopeful that any day it will be better.  Anyway, by the 5th mile, I started to enjoy this run.

Splits:  9:07, 8:46, 8:38, 8:43, 8:49, 8:56, 8:17, 8:41, 8:30, 7:49

Way to get those easy miles in that would totally kill me.

You'd love the bootcamp--anyone who enjoys pushing him/herself as far as possible and with all sorts of creative toys would love that workout.

Hey, I just noticed that Wes is on the Lone Faithful list. What does that mean?
