I'm not your typical runner. Not skinny. Not fast. But I do love to run and I love races!

Wait listed!

I registered for a 1 month boot camp thru Groupon (http://www.groupon.com/) during the last month of the year. Resolution week!

If you register for their email list, Groupon sends out daily emails for great specials at places through out the Houston Area. The specials are valid for 1 day only, and only if enough people register for the offer. I've bought 5 yoga sessions at Joy Yoga for $25 ($5 yoga classes!!).

For the 4 week boot camp, which also includes access to the body3fit's gym and group classes during the month, I believe I only paid $35! I purchased the boot camp groupon special along with 2 of my running buddies to provide myself with some accountability to stick with it for the entire month. Our intent was to begin the Feb 1st session, held MWF at 6:30pm at Memorial Park, after I had completed the Aramco half marathon.

As I sat here this morning at work, I decided to plan my workout schedule for the Spring since my long distance training is wrapping up. I called this morning to register for the boot camp and to my surprise, both the February and March boot camps at Memorial Park are booked! The body3fit representative said that within 2 weeks of the Groupon offering, they were booked. Guess I shouldn't have put off registering. I didn't even think about both months filling up! They offer a 5:30am Boot camp in the Heights, but I have to be at work at 7:15am. If they were at 5am, I would definitely take that option, since I run at 5am on Tuesdays and Thursdays anyway.

I'm currently wait listed for February and March, but I doubt it if spots will open up - especially 3 spots for my friends and I.

So my boot camp dreams will have to wait until April....
