v-ups & a skirt

my friend, Kristina, invited me to join her at bootcamp this morning.

so i went.  i was so excited.

just a small group of 6 of us.

met some really nice people who are also running the two cities marathon.

it was really fun, but the v-ups were kicking my butt.

(lisa...you remember those don't you. LOL)

kristina is training with this group called pinnacle for her half marathon

and she also does the runner bootcamp 2 days a week.

i've been to other bootcamps,

 so i was curious to see what it was all about.

so today we did a circuit of

10 v-ups

20 flutter kicks

run a little ways

and do 20 high knees

run a little ways

do 10 dips

and finally

10 push-ups leaning on the picnic table seat

and then run back to the beginning and

run through the circuit as many times as you can.

i think we did it for about 45 minutes.

i lost track of how many times i went around,

but it was ALOT.

we just went through the circuit as fast or as slow as we wanted.

at first i was thinking...no big deal.

by the 3rd time around...

my arms were on FIRE.

my triceps, shoulders & chest already are sore.

i can't wait to feel them tmr.

the guy that ran it was super nice,

(can't remember his name)

but i said thanks for torturning me with the v-ups.

he laughed.

so hopefully i won't be too sore for my runs this weekend.

saturday i have 5 recovery miles

and sunday is my second 20 miler

getting excited!!

i've also been thinking about my marathon outfit :)

i tried on a running skirt the other day at sports authority,

didn't like how the nike skirt fit.

but i found these online

and they are super cute

and look comfortable.

i added a video i found on their blog

with their new fall line...

watch the video...

two girls are wearing this black/gray argyle skirt...

that is the one that i want.

so stinkin' cute.

with black compression socks.

love.
