Then Maureen emailed me.
She let me know that it was full but I could sign up for the Mon/Weds class. $160 for 4 weeks (2 times a week) in Golden Gate Park. A bit of a commute but it's only 4 weeks so I decided to give it ago.
I joined a BOOT CAMP!

Turns out while I am in serious pain I do love it. I can already see a change and what I love about her class is that it is small, all women, and she not only kicks your ass in the sessions, she also gives you a plan for the week on what to do on your non-boot camp days to help you reach the goals you explain to her.
The classes are tough but the ladies in the class are pretty awesome (and diverse in athletic ability and age, etc). I think it also helps that a tiny lady with an Irish accent is yelling at you to run faster.
She took measurements on Day 1 and will again after the month is over.
This should be interesting. Updates to follow... we'll see if I can make some progress in a month!
