I met the East XC team at Sugarhouse Park for Boot Camp!   I've been planning this workout all summer, so I was excited to do it with them. (weird, I know.)  We ran four miles around the park and then did an hour of boot camp.

1. Flanangan Circuit (Burpees/sprint/jumping jacks/sprint/squats/sprint/ mountain climber/sprint)

2.  3 x 1 minute step ups on picnic benches

3.  3 x 15 pushups mixed with 3 x 20 situps

4. 10 hills (sprint up, jog down)

5. leg lifts 3 x 30 seconds held 6 inches off the ground

6.  Flanagan Circuit

7.  3 x wall sits (I'm not sure how long these were.)

8. 5 x stadium stairs (loops)

9. 3 x 15 tricep dips

10.  Hall Series ( lunges, toe walks, skips, butt kicks)

The kids did a two mile cool down, but I had to get home.  I plan on running again tonight, hopefully to shake out some lactic acid.  I'm going to be sore tomorrow.  Everyone worked hard, and it was a fun workout.  I need to do more of this stuff to stay strong.
