Last Saturday morning I met one of the ladies from my boot camp class at the HILL. The HILL is the place we've come to dread, as much as doing our taxes, getting our periods and going to the gyno. (or maybe that's just me?) That's why it is the HILL and not the hill... or a hill. Our bootcamp trainer, Corinne, has been throwing it into our workouts here and there. Once every couple of weeks, we will spend an hour there, walking, running, jacking (jumping jacks, but forward moving), lunging, sumo squatting and/or high knee-ing. And of course, we lunge and squat with weights - all the way up the damn thing. The road is about 1/4 mile long, but the incline is ridiculous. Evidence:
I really don't think this photo does it justice, but it's the best I could do. And seriously, what an awesome view to work out to, right?
I won't let the HILL beat me, I will conquer it. I hate that I feel so weak and slow when we workout there, so I started meeting a couple of the ladies there on Saturdays. I can finally run up it without collapsing (until I get to the top that is). This week, my goal is to run it twice. Tomorrow, we are bootcamping there - send me strong energy!
