This is the last week of bootcamp! Only four people showed up today out of 14 or so in the class. The instructor on Tuesday and Thursday is not most people's favorite, but she really had her act together better than the last couple of weeks.

The rules were eased up so that the game was a little less competetive than I played in college, but ...

Alright, I'm 30. I turned the big 3-0 about six months ago, and I want to be healthier at 31 than on my last birthday. That means work.
I've learned a few things about myself. I enjoy working out in groups or with other people. One on one training is great, but it's spendy. I like the motivation that comes with doing stuff with others. I think this is related to playing sports in school. It just makes a *huge* difference for me. I've followed som...
