Joanna and Naomi do Bootcamp

I had a moment this morning at 6:30 while I was lying on my waterlogged, mud-stained mat with heavy rain falling on my face, while at the same time lifting uncomfortably heavy weights above my head with fatigued arms, that I thought “This is a little unpleasant.”

Clearly water resistant clothing is not meant to repel water in any way whatsoever, which is a marketing ploy that I feel is just plain rude. However, I have to say after I embraced the fact that I was going to be uncomfortably wet and dirty for the remainder of the session, I began to take pride in the fact that I was so at one with the world of bootcamp. There was a small moment when I felt like Goldie Hawn in the movie “Private Benjamin” (which is such an inspiring bootcamp tale that it once made a dear friend of mine wnt to join the reserves – seriously crazy). However this vision may have only been delusion as my core muscles were engaged to the point where I was forgetting to breathe. Hmmm.
Tomorrow is the unpleasantness that is stairs in the rain. Will it be awe inspiring or hellishly slippery and dangerous? Only time will tell.
