Boot Camp

So I finally mustered up the courage to go to boot camp this year. Honestly I was always too chicken to go, but I figured I really had no excuse this year as a UBBT student member. What an experience! The day was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. It was such a great group of people. I wasn't feeling very well in the days coming up to boot camp and I wasn't sure how much I would be able to participate. I am surprised how much I could actually do. During the first part of the fitness testing I felt absolutely awful and thought I would sit out of the timed kicks portion, but my partner, Robyn( you totally rock) got me going and I did it, man it felt good. We finished the day with the 2km run, my whole abdomen was so cramped I thought I was going to die, but every time I thought about stopping someone else running in the other direction would yell out encouragement and I just put one foot in front of the other, I ended up finishing with a better time than the week before when we ran in class totally fresh. I think getting through anything starts with putting one foot in front of the other... thinking about the whole run was overwhelming, but just going one more step at a time was something I could do. Turns out all those little steps do add up to something big.
