In a more uncivilized time, PRUMC Boot Camp used bricks to exercise upper body muscles. These days, we use 5 pound hand weights. We make up for our pampering by doubling up weight (holding ten pounds in one hand) on a few exercises.

We started a little different today. We gathered at the top of the front stretch next to the children's playground. We took turns doing pull ups and a little stretching. Then we ran all the way up the back stairs to Peachtree Battle and lined up. We staggered the start of the Muscogee Mile. We gave the foxes a decent head start before we let the horses chase them. It was quite a finish. The pack was together for the home stretch.

We made our way down to the track and grabbed some weight. The ladies made a group and the gentlemen made a group. We took turns doing upper body exercise while the other group ran strides. Everyone took it medium. After about a half hour of wearing out our shoulders, back and arms, we took off our shoes and ran about a half mile of strides on the grass. Barefoot running is a little bit of a craze. We did talk about running form and foot strike in between 120 meter barefoot strides.
