Next Challenge, Please

Well, boot camp has come to and end and I am sad. I'm so surprised at how much I enjoyed it! While I wouldn't say I improved by leaps and bounds, I made some progress considering it was only a few weeks long. I took a minute and a half off my mile (though I will admit that I wasn't quite giving it my all during the first go-round, and to be honest, I probably could have shaved a bit of time off the last time, too), I doubled the amount of push-ups I can do, and I lost a few pounds in the process. Plus, it encouraged me to broaden my workout horizons. I have all these different classes available at the gym but I hardly ever go to them because I'm intimidated by the hard-bodies that are in there, but now I feel a little better about going.
So my next challenge is to keep pushing myself as if I was still in boot camp. The hardest part of that is dragging my sorry self out of bed in the wee hours of the morning. I'm SO not good at that. If I don't have anyone to meet at the gym - if I know no one is waiting on me - I just don't go. I've been going in the afternoons, but it's so much nicer to just get it over with in the morning and be able to do other things in the evening. So, if anyone wants to go to the gym or the track with me at 5:30 in the mornings, let me know! If not, I'll have to figure out a way to make myself get up on my own - maybe if I get involved in a class, I'll feel more motivated to show up consistently. And next time they do boot camp, I'll definitely sign up for it.
