"Well, it sounded like a good idea…" I’ve signed up for a fitness boot camp through the fitness center at work that is run by a former marine. It’s MWF from 6-7 AM. Jenny said she’d never choose to get up that early for any reason, let alone for a workout, so she is looking at signing up for a boot camp being offered at the YMCA which is from 6-7 PM, but it’s just on Mondays and only for a month (wimp!). The evening schedule means I can be home to watch Olivia (and she doesn’t have to get up any earlier).

My boot camp started this past week. I’m a little sore but it’s been good so far. It’s a military style boot camp and we stand at attention, do marine style exercises, and are teamed up in squads. (I’m the Squad 1 leader.) I was a little worried that the military aspect would be too over-the-top, but its not. Our "drill seargent" mainly focuses on getting in as much punishment as possible. On Friday, we ran carrying backpacks filled with weights, and my calves are still a little stiff from that combined with running the parking garage stairs.
