boot camp week 2 & running

so i didn't end up doing the boot camp exercises during the week. it was very... blah. and kinda busy. i had a final presentation due on tuesday and a final paper due on thursday. i managed to do a little jogging earlier in the week, though. ya know, before the sleep deprivation kicked in. i also went on a 3 mile run this afternoon! woo hoo! i probably did about a mile and a half on the first run (25 min total and about 15ish jogging). i actually ran most of the time today. i definitely had to ice but it was a small price to pay. i'm praying to all the running gods that i'll be able to complete all my legs of the Oregon Relay in a few weeks without incident. i have some of the easiest which i was disappointed about originally but now i'm so grateful.

so now that it's 1:30 on sunday morning i figured i'd start with my boot camp stuff. perfect time, right? i thought about doing it while we watched a movie (The Road, creepy stuff) but it was too stressful and i needed to snuggle with alvin and close my eyes for a fair amount of time. my balance isn't good enough to do all those exercises with my eyes closed.

so, once again, here are the week 2 exercises:

200 Jumping Jacks CHECK (220 whoops)

300 Jump Ropes CHECK

100 Push ups CHECK

300 Squats CHECK

10 – 20 count Wall Squats* CHECK

10 – 10 count Planks** CHECK (12 count)

100 Sit ups - CHECK

i have 10:24 hours to finish...
UPDATED: finished with 9 minutes to spare. maybe if i actually started on friday things wouldn't be so difficult...
