Oh what a beautiful morning…

It was a chilly morning – but that’s how I like it to be when I am working outdoors. Doesn’t take long to warm right up! Today’s boot camp was awesome – lots of running and moving fast – and even though my partner had to bail before we were done, I completed the entire camp session today! We started late and most of the ladies have to hit the road exactly at 645a to get their kids off to school on time. I realize how lucky I am that Scott takes on the heavy lifting in the AM to allow me to get my workout in. It takes a village people…
