I slept poorly again last night (so weird - I sleep great all the time, but the last two Sunday nights I've slept awfully) so I slept in and headed to the Y at 11:30 for 6 TM miles. All the TM were full, mostly by walkers. Hmph. Really? Go walk elsewhere peeps! I hop on an elliptical just to do something, and notice a TM just behind and to the right is almost done. Stupidly I don't go ask her - I wait for her to get off. Just as she's getting off I grab my stuff, hop off, turn around, and some girl swooped in and stole the TM. Argh. I gave her a bit of the evil eye, got back on the elliptical, surveyed the other 11 TMs and decided they weren't going anywhere soon. Headed downstairs where 3 other TMs are holed up in a private area but they were all full. Hmph. Since Boot Camp now started in 20 minutes, I went to the indoor track (17 laps = 1 mile) and ran faster than normal to blow off some steam before BC - I think I got 1.5 miles during, probably another 1/2 during class. Wow, this was a killer class. My triceps got hit so hard I was unable to do more reps at a few stations, and my legs are wobbly from all the leg work. I judge my workouts based on the bandanna sweat level, and this was a dripper: sweat was dripping off the back of the bandanna, where it ties together. I'll be feeling this one all week, but I think I'll sleep great tonight.
