Mt. Tabor Summit, 1128 steps plus run. Since November 2011, my training clients and boot camp crew have been meeting every Sunday at 9a.m. to explore and climb the various steep and challenging stairways of Portland.

All Summer classes held at Jackson Middle School in SW Portland. Today, on a rainy Sunday morning, 12 hearty bootcampers turned out for a kick-start pre-season workout. Great effort was made by all, and special acknowledgement goes to Hannah, my youngest camper, for best attitude. She did it all and with a smile to “boot”! Way to go Hannah! Oh Yeah, that is me in my shoulder [...] The other day, Karen and I (fellow blogger and bootcamper), were chitchatting before or after bootcamp. When we started bootcamp nearly twenty months ago with Dana, I am sure we would have never imagined that we would be having this conversation. We were talking about running. We are both now officially training for half marathons. Yet [...] This is the Kettlebell Bootcamp Blog. And today was a Kettlebell challenge. After a long warm up, it was time for the 400 Benchmark workout – a timed workout which includes the basic movements of the bell. The last time we did this “test” was on November 24th, a little more than two months ago. I [...] The alarm went off and I thought, “Just five more minutes.” Fifty-six minutes later it was 6:46 a.m. and I was missing bootcamp! So frustrating…On Friday’s I walk with a friend after bootcamp, I got up and got that workout in but it wasn’t the same when my day is jump started with kettlebells, core [...] Last Friday after bootcamp, I jinxed myself. As we were leaving, Dana said, “You have three days off.” I gave her a look that said yea, right and she corrected herself, “You have three days off from bootcamp but remember to do something each day – you have your workouts…” I left thinking I’d do [...] Resolutions are in full force. So I avoided the gym (and the crowds) and headed to the local high school track to get a good workout in today. Fortunately, I have a notebook full of workouts from Dana and went to the buddy workout section as today I had a buddy with me. This particular one [...] The other night I was sitting there watching football – yes, my favorite time waster – well, it’s not a time waster, it’s actually a very valuable use of time, but anyway, that’s about the one thing I watch and don’t do anything else…Anyway, my outside voice actually said “I miss getting up mornings and [...] Truth is, the Post Thanksgiving Damage Control Workout was GREAT last Friday, but I have to admit, I really didn’t need it. Well, of course, I needed a workout but my Thanksgiving Meal Attack plan, and my Thanksgiving morning workout, which consisted of a five mile run and some time on the elliptical, left me [...] |
