Here's just a slice of what today's activities included --- all never would have happened if I didn't decide to:
(a) arrive at the beach without a plan or a schedule or a support system
and
(b) spend every day saying, "what's the worst that could happen if I tried to [insert verb]"
Bootcamp
It's Monday and that means I said hasta luego to The Husband as he commuted back to DC for work and I headed to Atlantic Street in Fenwick for Travel Bootcamp with the HipAHA chicks.
Parking my car, taking off my flops, walking over the dune and seeing all those high energy and empowered athletes makes me happy. The fact that the majority are women just reminds me how strong and determine chicks can be --- and that's not just b/c we can set an alarm and get to class. I have met some really fabulous people and am physically stronger than I probably ever have been. I even have baby guns now.
It was Coach Lori's first class since coming back from vacation and she brought the hammer down. We worked our asses off today. It was all about running today --- alternating timed runs in the packed sand (yay!) and a number in the soft sand (boo!). I am here to tell you that running in soft sand is incredibly challenging and everyone was huffing and puffing after the sets. There was no rest for the weary as we integrated in strength training for our lower bodies between the run sets. That's gonna hurt tomorrow.
Stand-Up Paddle Board
Since I was going to test out the SUP in the ocean the following morning, I headed over to Delmarva to pick up an extra SUP leash. Janis and Chris were there and as usual were incredibly helpful. Chris showed me how to attach the leash and we talked about my new paddle. Did I tell you how much I love it???
I also spent time talking to Janis about the business. She is such an incredible marketer and you can tell that she and George just love what they do. Kudos to them!
Janis also gave me some great intel about other SUP-ers west of the Bay Bridge that I can hook up with once I get back to reality.
Oh reality...you are just around the corner.
