I started doing Bootcamp this week. What that entails is me getting up at 600am, going down to a park in Los Feliz and getting my ass handed to me for the next hour. We usually start out with some stretches, then move on to jumping jacks, push ups, situps, high knees... stuff to get the body moving. Then it's off for a run. The first day I made it about half way through before my left shin started hurting like nobody's business. The instructor watched me run and said that it was probably the shoes that I was wearing (the shoes that I had just paid $90 for.) and she suggested this certain store to go to that watch how you run and find the best shoes for you. Anyway. After the run we did the standard squats and lunges then some mat work. What sucks is that I have done all these routines before and they were never this hard. Part of which I chalk up to doing them at the fast pace and long reps that I am not used to, though mostly it's just because I let myself get way out of shape.
After the workout I headed back home and made breakfast, showered and prepped for my audition later that day. Let's speak of auditions shall we? This weeks schedule was crazy with a few auditions coming through yesterday and today. Both were for commercials, both are paying... so I wonder why my agent didn't send me out on them? Why did I have to find them myself? Hmmm.
So I also went to that shoe shop that my instructor recommended and they did exactly as she said. They watched me run and found me a shoe that fits amazingly and helps drastically reduce my pronation. So on this mornings run I was able to perform better. Though it didn't help that my knee, which has been acting funny since the accident, tried to give out near the end. It kind of fucked up the rest of my work out too since we did alot of different leg work today. (I have never been that close to passing out from working out before either...) Needless to say, I think that this might work for me... I just need to get myself up to speed with the rest of the class. I am definitely the slow wheel here.

I was just going to call you about this, and I'm glad you blogged! What are you going to do about comicon? just miss those days?
I actually told them about it when I signed up. They just prorated me those days... but gave me a pretty stricked work out plan to do while I am down there. So it looks like late nights and early mornings for this guy! God I am excited!
