  • The where is Kanye when you need him workout

    Sometimes the rain isn’t such a welcome sight — especially at 5a when you know you will be doing your outdoor bootcamp in it!  So I woke up and headed to camp hoping it would POUR so that we would be forced to be inside, but no such luck. And it was more misting than…

  • Bootcamp Workout

    Another great day, another good workout. I really do like starting my day with bootcamp and an activity that stretches and works my muscles. I highly recommend it! I saw some deer in my neighborhood and saw the most beautiful full moon on my drive this morning. All the great things you get to witness…

  • A 2m run to start your day

    Today is the start of school for the kids in my county. Hannah is heading into 3rd grade and my baby Nate is heading into 1st grade but first time in Public School. As usual, I headed to boot camp before taking them to school on their first day. Today’s boot camp was tough! warmup…

  • A Welcome Workout

    I feel fall in the air and what a difference it makes in my workout. For one, I can breathe — the heat and humidity wreak havoc with my asthma so this cooler air is a welcome break. Also, I have more energy to do the workouts with the cooler weather. Win no matter how…

  • Adding a new level of Fun to Boot Camp!

    Yesterday morning I was running so late and rushing around to get out of the house to get to work but as I walked out to my car, I saw this big beautiful butterfly and had to stop to appreciate it. It had bright blue outline on the inside and orange on the outside and…

  • Monday’s Workout is a wrap

    Most of the group is back from various trips, injuries and vacations! It’s always great to workout with the usual group – we just are all in synch. I feel much better after 3 days away from camp. I had more energy and strength. I am now a FIRM believer in rest and recovery. The…

  • Boot Camp: Inspiring, Supportive and Fun!

    Another Forced Rest day. In some ways I feel more tired now that I am getting more sleep but I am enjoying the lack of rushing around in the AM. Not enjoying it enough to stop so no worries. It’s nice to take a short break – I am hoping it will reinvigorate me both…

  • It’s a Struggle

    I’m struggling. My weight is up, my body fat is up – my motivation and morale are low. It’s very frustrating and depressing. I am not going to lie about it – it sucks! I don’t know what’s going on inside of me — I am trying to reignite the fire but it’s a struggle……

  • Another fine Wednesday

    Good Morning Folks! It’s another fine Wednesday here in Ashburn — mid way thru the week — starting to feel closer to my pre-strep self.  Had a pretty decent workout today — I did go down in weight in the PT station — to 65lbs.  It was still challenging but I feel weak still.  Mikey…

  • Here’s my workout for the day – what did you do?

    So while I feel night and day better now that I have finished my antibiotics – I feel that I am not at 100% yet. I did OK during the workout and have to remember that heck, at least i DID the workout.  I need to get better at remembering to appreciate the successes and…
