Lincoln Park campers: You all did an amazing job this week with your workouts, weather changes and all!
Sgt Friday was coming off her first (of probably two) head/chest colds she’ll probably get this season, as she attempted to keep up with her campers this week in class. I was less than successful in my efforts, but quickly learned how very much I appreciate all the hard work each of you put in each week for me at camp! The workouts are fast paced, hard, yet very fair (Andy S & Julie, I know you beg to differ) with respect to the level of athletic ability that I’m blessed to work with each day! You guys are such a pleasure to work with and make my job fun as you test my creativity and abilities to find new challenges for you!
I must admit it’s not fun getting “buried” (with a slight ego bruise to match) by my own campers in the workouts, but it does show and prove to me the hard work you have all been putting in. I know that my workouts can be hard and that I expect a lot from you, but the results are very clear to me what this program can do for you if you continue to show up each day and put in the effort that I ask of you.
Trip, Andy H, Brian S, Jared S & Tom T, thanks for making me suck wind (a lot) this week in my attempt to chase you down in the workouts.
Danica T & Julie S, a little less complaining would be such a nice change from you both, but thanks for still getting sore, showing up & doing the work anyway (even at the expence of the rest of the class getting punished for your verbal abrasiveness)!
Mihir K, Andy S & Gunn, thanks for always finding humor in my workouts no matter how challenging they are for you. A good giggle always lessens the pain, even if just for a bit!!!
Colleen S, Rachel H & Jason C, thank you sooo much for your quiet reserve during the workouts and only cursing me under your breath.
Campers, I’m looking forward to the colder weather (and full functioning lungs again) as we tackle the winter months together and continue on our quest for reaching all of our fitness goals!
Lungs of steel and legs of Clydesdales…..here we come!
