Half Dome- Here we come

Early June, we will be heading to our annual hike in Yosemite.  This year's challenge- THE HALF DOME (dome  dome dome (echoing)).  We are down to about 4 weeks out, and its time to get even more serious about training for this great feat.

To start, I (Amanda) signed myself up for my very first 5K, which was about 3 weeks ago now.  That event I signed up for about 5 weeks out, and little by little I went from barely able to jog 1 mile, to a slow run for all three miles.  Plus this 5K had obstacles, so it was an amazing accomplishment!

Now I'm still able to run 3 miles 2 times per week, and today I added in a trial session of a boot camp.  My friend from elementary- Jon has started his own MASH boot camp, and it was so much fun today.  Not only did it give a great cardio work out, but I got in some muscle work through lunges, sprints, planks, burpies and more!  His 4 week class is priced right, and I would LOVE to do it, but right now we're just limited on spending money on really anything.  So its now up to me to get this body into shape.

Monday I'm starting my effort with my first diet.  Its the seven day diet, and is rich in healthy food, so I shouldn't go hungry!  Add in to that an effort to work out each morning I can't wait to see where I'm at as I check in this time next week.  Wish me luck- its training time!!
