Best year yet

We were reminiscing about 2011 this morning after the workout. This was boot camps best year. We had more improvement this year than any other. Just to highlight a few, Lisa B and Paige changed their looks more than anyone. Mary D and Matty weren't far behind.

Kerry, Brittany and Maggie used their fitness base to bounce back from child birth faster than the average Mom.

A crew of quick chicks emerged and double as fitness models: Caroline, Jodi, Barb, Stacey, Glamour, Kristen,and Elizabeth have been consistently pacing the front. Christine is patiently bringing Carina right behind. This years youth movement has been a wonderful addition. Mary, Susie, Caroline Mc, & Laurie have been solid little sisters to the pack.

The heart and soul of boot camp is The Pack. Years past, there was The Back. The Back has been replaced by The Pack. Cindy, Kaffee, Margaret, Leslie, Irene, Allison, Sally, Holly, Ellie, Jen Jen the engine, Tiffers, Lisa M. and Dolly are the beating heart of boot camp. It has been my pleasure to spend more time in The Pack this year, one of the silver linings to being dropped by the fleet footed front. The increased attendance is what makes The Pack daily.

The fellas had a good year too. Gary continues. John G arrived. O'neill cashed in on the 4th of July. Jimmy remains the ladies choice. Charles is chipping away at his PRs and has recently introduced Matt to The Pack. Steef, Todd, Fred & I are seriously thinking about getting in shape...next year. Michael S is a changed man and Michael L got a year younger. John S, Dave B, Charlie and Frank all poned the marathon this year.

Prancer and Dave D ran 18:25 at Polar bear... No Joke.

The Core 4 (Kathleen, Susie Mc, Jenny, Kristin) at PBC added some robobabes (Roxanna, Lizzard, Cindy N, Katie, Mary, Sabrina) to make 830 the toughest all women group training in Atlanta.

Harriott continues to have the most days of attendance of anyone all time. She has survived 6 years of daily exercise.

We hear all kinds of excuses why folks miss workouts: I got engaged, I got cancer, I got married, I got pregnant, ect... Mary Blythe had ALL of these excuses and still did not miss boot camp.

We said Good bye to Slaw and we are still waiting for the glorious return of the "Real Boss of Boot Camp",  Carolyn Pait. We are also waiting on Cleve.

Getting in shape, looking our best, breaking personal records and achieving fitness goals are all wonderful products of having FUN in our daily routine. It worked this year.
