  • Tuesday’s Camp Workout

    Boot camps last 4 weeks long – 3 days a week. That is one great thing about bootcamps in general, you don’t get bored or maxed out. The workout changes daily and then completely every 4 weeks. It’s one of the things that I like about these programs – you get to try new exercises…

  • What exercise did I do today?

    It was a glorious fall day so instead of going to the gym, I ran on the W0&D trail. I am lucky enough to live very close to the trail. The scenery was beautiful, it was brisk and fellow fitness minded people were out in force. I haven’t run on the trail since it started…

  • Gifts

    I said this earlier, I like to go running alone and think. I think about all sorts of things but today’s run brought up some feelings of loss. Loss of the security and gift of health by my family and by so many others. I ran by my neighbor Tom’s house and I was reminded…

    Generation BMI → Cranky Fitness. This is such a good commentary about the fine line between wanting to do something about childhood obesity and damaging self esteem and self worth.
