Day 5 of Boot Camp

Happy "40th" Birthday Josh! & Thank you to Julie for providing us with eye-candy this morning. Did we hit the trail hard or did we hit the trail hard, ladies??!! We worked it this morning! The warm-up was crazy intense, thanks Trecha, but it targeted every muscle group. It also included stretching to get us ready for the next 45 minutes of our workout. The pictures won't be uploaded today, but it will happen so get ready.


Runners: Ashley sent me a document that includes your times, and once again, everyone came in well under 33 minutes. Of course Josh led the way with 28:57, and Lisa wasn't far behind with a time of 30:48. If anyone else is interested in their time please let me know and I will share it with you. Otherwise, everyone did an awesome job this week, and I am sure you feel a great sense of accomplishment. Thank you Ashley for your awesome routines and training techniques. My husband loved the hill climb.


Run/Walkers: You had the pleasure of me as your trainer today. HooRah! Barb started out front with me and Tabitha wasn't far behind us; eventually Tabitha and Jane took the lead. Not far behind them Pam, Tanya, and a couple of other campers were right on their heels. Your team rocked this weeks camp! Everyone improved and I know you feel great. Some of us are going through sugar/caffeine/alcohol withdrawal, but you can make it. Remember that you are not alone.


Walkers: Bravo! You have overcome so many obstacles this week. I know it has been difficult and there were times when you thought you weren't going to be able to lift your feet another step, but guess what? YOU DID!!!! Can you believe you made it through this week? I am sure Andrea kept you going. A quick recap: You walked 1.5 miles 4 out of the 5 days this week, and some of that you jogged. If you felt like me at all this week, hot baths, Epsom salt, and ibuprofen were your best friends, but you did what it took to finish the week. You should feel so good about yourself because you have started the journey on the road to healthy life changes.

We were missing a couple of people this morning, and I will make it a point to call and check on them this weekend. If you see them be sure you let them know we missed them and we expect to see them at the next boot camp week.

Finally, please know that without all of you there is no boot camp. I am deeply moved by your dedication, strength, and drive. I feel your spirit through your smile, your laugh, your hi-five, your hug, and even your complaint. I am grateful to be associated with such a wonderful group of high-spirited women.

Next week: Shiloh Park - Greenmount Rd. & Frank Scott Pkwy. - behind Target (somewhere in there)
