Lab Workbooks?

[clarktr2]

I'm about half way through the BSCI book, and I've been looking into doing some kind of labs, most likely via an online rack time rental. What I'm wondering is: Is there some kind of lab manual or workbook out there that's available? It just doesn't seem that productive to simply hop on a rack and start configuring on a whim. I've been looking for some kind of book or guide with example configurations that I could work through, but haven't really seen anything like that. Any suggestions?

33 Labs built to support v5 of the Building Scalable Internetworks course within the Cisco® Networking Academy® curriculum providing ample opportunity to practice.
6 Challenge and Troubleshooting Labs have been added to the Lab Portfolio to further test your mastery of the topics.
