Joanna and Naomi do Bootcamp

We have one rule, so far - we can complain about bootcamp before and after bootcamp, but never in bootcamp. It’s pretty simple – something along the lines of Fight Club – ah, wait, I just looked it up, there’s actually 8 rules for Fight Club…hrmm, that doesn’t work at all. Well, to salvage that comparison, our rule is a simple as the rules of Fight Club. And hopefully we won’t look like to combatants once we’ve finished. 

In university I joined a running club. It wasn’t a true club by university standards – it was a group of like-minded engineering students, it had no recognition, and anyone outside our little circle wouldn’t recognize it to be a true club…more along the lines of “So you’re a group of people…” Yes “…who run together?” Yes again. But we tried! We had t-shirts with iron-on decals that said “Running Club”, and sometimes we even wore them when we went running together. And although the club fell apart after a year, we had rules too. But they were pretty ridiculous. “No chatting while running” – I repetitively broke that rule, what with rule no. 2 “No talking about boys”. Well hell. Excuse me if I have to say something to get over the monotony of running in a circle and trying to keep my heart inside my chest instead of traveling up my throat, as it was wont to do. And in my defense, it’s commonly known that if you’re able to chat while running, you’re at a good pace. So there. 

I imagine this blog will be an outlet for us to complain about bootcamp, to compare our progress with that of the other participants, and chat about the stuff that got us here in the first place. (Helloooo dulce de leche!) Time will tell.
