So here's the video blog I made about yesterday's BMF session. I apologise for how rough I look, my phone isn't the most flattering and it was all done a bit spur of the moment (rather than planning, I just switched my phone on when I felt like talking). I might do these whenever I have a BMF session, or when anything to do with the army comes up.
I was wondering how long it'd take me to faceplant the mud (intentionally or otherwise) and yesterday I broke my mud faceplanting virginity. We were doing a relay where we had to sprint from A to B, and on our return, had to fetch the next person in our team and link arms with them, continuing the relay. Well the guy who I had to link arms with was probably about 6 foot 4 (I came up to his ribcage, and I'm 5 foot bang on), and having a larger stride, literally just dragged me along the floor.
Apart from that initial 'ouch!' feeling you get, I was okay, so I got straight back up and continued running. Paul even told everyone to give me a clap when I hobbled in last place to the finish. What I like about BMF is the encouragement they give you. A gym group or aerobic group wouldn't have that 1 on 1 attention despite there being a group.
Other than that it was a very good session -- my running is definitely improving! As with Monday, my legs turned to concrete at the beginning, but after about 15 minutes, loosened up and not only did I find myself keeping up with the jogging for the most part, but I found myself overtaking one or two people as well! I can't quite explain it, this energy just seemed to come out of nowhere!
My goal currently is to do an entire session without having to walk one of the jogging bits. Let's see how many sessions that takes me!
