Shaking Legs

I have never been so glad to have worn an over-sized t-shirt than I was this morning. I definitely needed the extra fabric to act as a towel to wipe the dripping sweat from my face. The crazy humidity combined with Mike’s booty-kicking workout today left me drenched.

What a way to start the week! Today we focused on lower body. We lunged and hopped our way all over Reeve Park. Within 15 minutes of camp today my legs were wobbling like a baby learning to walk. But I fought through it. After we completed a course of lunge walking and plyometric jumps we thought Mike was going to give us a breather. Instead, he had us jog a quarter mile “to stretch out our muscles.”

While at first I thought running after all of that legwork would be an impossible task, I was surprised by how much energy I was still able to muster. That mid-camp run proved to me that my endurance has definitely improved since last camp.

I’m sure the shaky legs I felt this morning will turn to stiff legs overnight. I’m interested to see how I handle our morning warm-up jog and I’m eager to see my end-of-camp measurements in two weeks.
