Since starting at GrandRapidsBootCamp in Oct‘08 I’ve found a great routine with a trainer 3-4 mornings a week and I’ve recently started counting cals.I feel better physically, mentally and spiritually.I'm often asked for workout plans & recipes.Blogging these things will help me to stay accountable and may also help others.I don't claim to be an expert and I don't even claim that every day I do things right.What I do claim is responsibility for every decision I make every day.

Day 89: GR MUD RUN!
We did the GR Mud Run today. It was a blast. Seriously intense but one of the best experiences of this past year. I couldn't believe that I could finish a 5K with walls to climb, swamps to get through, mud pits that suck your legs in, mesh to army crawl under and LOADS of hills to climb up and fall down. I was so proud of myself and my team for accomplishing this task!
Here are some pictures from the event:

Day 88: Workout, I think not
Um, workout? I think not! I need to rest my body. Tomorrow I will do the Grand Rapids Mud Run as a proud member of Team Grand Rapids Adventure Boot Camp. I'm altogether stoked and freaked out about this race!
I've done two other 5K's this summer. The first one, the Riverbank Run, was one that I trained for so I felt pretty good throughout the race. Then there was the second race, Reeds Lake, where I ran into all sorts of physical complications but finished anyhow.
Now, the Mud Run...COMPLETELY different. They've been posting the course pics on Twitter and Facebook and it's INTENSE! Seriously, lots of hill climbs (YUCK) and mud to swim in, tunnels to crawl through, etc. I honestly think it's going to be the biggest physical challenge I've had in my entire life.
I'm going to be the slowest on my team but also probably the strongest so I hope that gets me through!

Day 86: Workout (90 Day Challenge)
We ran intervals at boot camp today. We did three rounds progressing from level 5-9 (9 being an all out sprint). I felt good about my progress, speed, and recovery rate.
Then we went back to the park and did upper body focusing on shoulders and chest (I did about 5 "male" pushups before I had to go to my knees so I was happy about that progress too).
We ended with a long, intense core session doing 7 different planks and 3 other core exercises on top of that! I have a feeling I'm going to feel that for quite some time tomorrow!

Days 72-74
I was up north at Crystal Lake with some friends so I didn't have access to my blog but I thought I'd update it now that I'm home.
Workout wise, we stayed pretty active. In the past three days I've cycled about 40 miles and we also went sailing...which I learned is not as relaxing as boating on a motor boat because you're moving all the time....but I loved it!
As for food... I packed my own snacks (apples, cheese, and almonds) so I was safe there. When we went out to eat, I made good choices except at one meal when I had french fries....mmm, they were good :).
I would say that the most challenging thing was dealing with alcohol. I knew that we were going to a brewery that I'd been wanting to go to for years so I reserved my alcohol for that night (only had 15oz). But, I wanted more. And, my friends were drinking about 2-3 other times and I wanted to drink those times too but I passed. I really think that was WAY more challenging than the food part.
Overall, the weekend was great....definitely not relaxing (probably more tired than before I went!) but it was fun and active so that's good!

MUD RUN?!?!?
A team of four of us boot campers have signed up to do the Grand Rapids Mud Run. This should be a riot!!! Mostly I'm thinking about how much fun it will be and what a memory. I'll be doing it with fellow boot campers Wendy, Missy & Catherine. We're trying to talk Rob, the trainer, into running it with us.....but when we brought it up he said "well you guys would have to push hard because I'm not coming in last!". That was his competitive side coming out... too bad us girls signed up for fun and fitness and NOT competition!! :)
Then I think about what a hard workout it'll be! A 5K is hard enough for me as it is and I normally don't need to go through 6 mud obstacle courses and run the race covered in mud and being weighed down by muddy shoes... this will be a challenge for sure...But I guess I'm up for it!!
Sort of a good way to end the summer of fitness and to round out my events with 3 5K races for the first time in my life.
Check out the race's website for more info at www.grandrapidsmudrun.com

This is the first week of a new session which meant there were a lot of new people...which equals beginners. Even if the beginners are "in shape" or something, they still need to get familiar with the pattern and with the different exercises...which means my workout isn't as good. But, I guess that's ok, I've been thinking I need some recovery so hopefully this week gives me a little bit of that.
We did a circuit. I was partnered with one of the newbies and definitely one who isn't used to working out, lifting anything heavy, or basically having coordination at all. But, she was nice :)

Day 62: Workout
I was way too tired from this weekends physical activities to go to boot camp but I did lead my friends in a workout after work. I probably did about 70% of what I would do at boot camp because I was helping them get the hang out certain exercises and timing the exercises, etc. but it was still a workout and I was still moving (probably should have taken a full recovery day but oh well!)
It was great to work out with my actual friends and I hope we can do it more! My one friend mentioned how happy I seemed when she saw me before hand and I told her it really was because I knew I was going to do a fun workout. Glad it has that effect on me :)

Day 61: Workout
Today Jettie and I rode 20 miles. We went to downtown Rockford and back on the White Pine Trail....what a beautiful trail! I was absolutely joyous the entire time (although my saddle was a bit painful and at about mile 15 it got really bad!) We stopped in downtown Rockford for a treat and then headed back.
Perfection.
Perfection.
