Comments: Once again Jim K was there so this class was great! I was not sure if I was dressed warmly enough and although my knees did turn kinda blue I felt totally fine the entire time.

We did lots of circuits today. And then we did some circuits - sheesh. We went to the upper sand pit, and did a circuit there.

ASIDE - a 'circuit' in this context means 10 reps of 10 exercises at 10 different stations and you kinda run/jog from station to station.

Then we did another. Next came some core work on the bluff and then we ran down to the beach and while the slower groups were heading off on the flat timed run we did this amazingly hard exercise. We stood on one leg, untied our shoe, took off our sock, put it in the shoe and hopped on one foot across the parking lot, touched a wall and then hopped back and put on our shoe AND tied it without ever putting out foot down. Then we did it with the other leg. I could not believe how much my legs were shaking after that.

Now it was time to run down and back the trail and then two more circuits on the beach. Then we did the timed run UP THE HILL back to the bluff. Ouch. Jim and I resolved to not start like insane people and the pace was actually very civil. About half way up I pulled ahead and ended up finishing in just under five minutes which really surprised me. I thought I'd be slower for sure.

More core on the bluff, more exercises in the sand and then jog back to the very top of the park for "100 of any exercise you want" according to John C. Jim, Lana and I decided on pushups and steam engines, alternating sets of 20 until we hit 100.

Crap, I am so done.
Equipment: thick SIR socks, running shoes, shorts, 2 long sleeve tops, cycling cap, fleece gloves
