Second month at boot camp

Things changed a lot since the first day I joined the boot camp.

First after I posted the note on Facebook about free places to exercise, including the boot camp. Then Sheldon created the fan page. And phewwww. The class got real crowded.

I didn't know why. Maybe a lot of my friends and readers joined. Even Giang (my friend at Di va Song fanpage and a really experienced traveler - who usually guide the tour to Nepal and north India) also joined the class and asked his fellows to join.

So it got really crowded. Previously only 3 - 4 people each time. Now 16 - 18 people. I know most of them. And I feel good. Feel proud that I partly contribute to the growth of the class and the physical development of people.

Maybe people don't feel so. But it's ok. The fortune teller told that sometimes in life I wouldn't get the result or appropriate appreciation for what I do. It's ok then. If that's my karma then I will have to accept it anyway. But I'm proud here that I helped to build the boot camp class. Built a community, caring health. That's good to talk to people and see how they're progressing and all.

And Giang. Previously I didn't have much impression with him, even if we worked together in an event of Di va Song. But now having more chance to talk with him, I feel he is a cool guy. Really really strong. I'm impressed with his physical condition.

Shel teaches the class really passionately these days. He really likes the new guys coming. Ti, Tao's cousin; Giang; Hoa, the girl coming back from the Malaysia trip on a yacht. He seems really like Hoa. I feel a bit surprised there.

Anyway many people came were my friends or friends of my friends. I talk to them, getting to know them better and feel good. More people, more competition, more fun. I really like the boot camp now.

There are several really good people out there. Especially the girls. If you see their bodies you will faint away. So hot, six packs and very strong.

I wan to note about the teacher. He organises the class really well and comes up with the idea how to teach really quick. The sessions from monday to thursday are flexible with many rounds and things so we don't get fed up. I got to talk with him more and he seemed to be nice. And he seemed to be deeper than the appearance. I don't know. Just need to figure out. He once told: "Don't drink". I laughed, he appeared to drink a lot. He told: "No I don't drink as much as people think I do. I just mixed up with fruit juice. At the end I didn't got drunk but people thought I did. No, I was just happy". He was really cool when he said that.

Anyway I appreciate what he is doing. Teaching the class for free from monday to thursday, while in California fitness you need to pay 25$/1hour for the PT. That is more than enough. He is nicer than enough.

Only 1, 2 months since the first time I joined then I already feel the difference. First my back got real real hurt. My sacrum got scratched, and scar came after that. Then around 2, 3 days not doing boot camp, it started to heal. But then when I did again the the scratch came again. Real hurt, especially when bathing.

Today also hurt, but way much better. Not that much painful. And I feel that the more we do, the better we get.

Then I feel my body much lighter now. Flat belly, strong feeling when I walk. Very little fat.

And when I went to camping in Ba Den mountain, I just kept walking and I felt not much tired. In the previous trips to Ba Den I was so exhausted after coming back. But I do boot camp frequently now and I feel the benefit of it.

Every time I do sprint then I just lie down on the ground, feeling intolerable in my glutes and the hamstring. But I know it helps.

Every time I run I feel terrible but I know it helps.

Every time I repeat and repeat and repeat the workout I think of EBC, of Kinabalu, of Kilimanjaro, and I keep doing.

OMG I'm so sleepy I don't know what I'm writing.
