Miles Sarah and I have run since she declared "hardcore" training last week: 3
When: last night
On the other hand, we have been going to bootcamp, which is nothing if not hardcore. And definitive proof that I was born with no muscle in my upper body. Also definitive proof that burpees suck just as much today as they did in 5th grade and were clearly invented for use in the 4th circle of hell. Which come to think of it, pretty much describes middle school gym class. (Except for floor hockey and the parachute.)
I am officially an Austinite as I have developed cedar fever. Despite spending the weekend on the couch pretending I had a cold, I can no longer deny that after 35 years, I have allergies. Blech.
Days Until the Austin Half Marathon: 11
ETA: Burpees
1. Drop into a squat with your hands on the floor.
2. Jump your feet back so you're in push-up (or plank if you're an Austin yoga hippie)position.
3. Do a push-up.
4. Jump your feet back into a deep squat.
5. Straighten up by jumping as high as you can.
6. Do that, really fast, over and over again until you feel like you might puke.

What are 'burpees?'...please and thank you.
we called those squat thrusts. which always made me feel kinda dirty. i think it's the thrusts part. and yeah, they are from a circle of hell.
