Kathleen

Kathleen arrived on Monday of the second week in May 10 years ago. We have spent most weekday mornings together ever since.

There should be a picture of Kathleen next to the word Balance in the dictionary. While Boot Camp has been her base fitness training, she also enjoys yoga, Pilates, step aerobics/body pump classes, walking/hiking, distance running & other fun activities.

Kathleen is not fanatical about her diet but she eats healthy, drinks green tea, likes to juice and find creative ways to enjoy vegetables. She has more recently reduced gluten & has always been very careful about drinking enough water. She  may have Atlanta's top pastry chef living in her house so nutritional discipline may become more difficult in the future.

Kathleen is fanatical about covering up. She wears long pants and long sleeves as long as she can stand the heat. She covers herself in sun block and often wears a hat and sun glasses.

In the last decade, Kathleen has become very close to her fitness family. While she works hard in the workout, she also enjoys the fellowship.

We often write and talk about the benefits of daily exercise in a group. We like to point out the mental, physical and emotional benefits of outdoor group training. Kathleen is living proof. Her lifestyle choices have made her younger over the years.

Every summer when she leaves, I miss her. We all enjoy our life with Kathleen!
