You Did It!

You sur­vived a hell­ish 5-day week! Nasty humid­ity, high temps, bru­tal work­outs, and not a sin­gle rest day. What will we think of next?

How are you feel­ing? Will you be back for more next week?

Get some rest this week­end, eat well, drink lots of water, and we’ll see you all on Monday.

For­ever yours,

The train­ers

   Great job Speed­ies! You all looked awe­some this morn­ing. I was hop­ing that we could run through the foun­tain, but then Tracy reminded me that it might use the fish water.

   Have a great week­end and see you bright early Monday!

   This is the first time I’ve com­pleted 5 days in a row (and may be my last). I hurt every­where and I’m about to fall asleep from exhaus­tion. Lit­er­ally, I’m tak­ing half a day off work to go home and nap! Shazia, why did you get us involved in this per­fect atten­dance crap??? At least we’re 75% there…

   Thanks for a fun run this morn­ing Kath­leen! A nice cou­ple of miles was perfect.

   Kath­leen you would have been safe with the foun­tain. I believe since it is intended to be played in, so has to meet sim­i­lar chem­i­cal stan­dards as a swim­ming pool.

   Great run through por­tions of Vir­ginia High­lands with the super speed­ies today. Kara you were really push­ing it out there.

   Hope­fully every­one will get to sleep in some tomor­row. It has been a long tough week, but we still have 4 days left. Stay strong through the end of the month.

   WOW! What a week! I think I’m bro­ken — every­thing hurts. I’m going to invest in some epson salt this evening.

   Kudos to every­one for com­plet­ing this week! The BC4C train­ers really chal­lenged us and every­one stepped it up to meet the challenge.

   Kath­leen, it was a good run this morn­ing! Thanks to Andy, Mary Ellen and Tracy for keep­ing us moti­vated and moving.

   Crazy hell week!
   way to end it with a hard as hell run both groups!

   drink a lot of liq­uids this week­end and rest 4 days of July left.

   I feel like Cap­tain Amer­ica today any­body else?

   We did it, Wes! I am hurt­ing all over and am gping to rake a nap as well. But I thought I’d never ever ever say this: run wasn’t so bad! I had been avoid­ing it all these months and per­fect atten­dance forced me to come. Great job speed­ies– I hope you all rest up to shout in Mon­day! Rick– hope you are feel­ing better.

   I’m glad I left the body con­dom at home today. Wowz­ers! Sweat drip­pin’ down my face, arms, legs, fin­gers, toes, knees…you get the point. Daniel — that run was killer and I’m glad I showed up because I would’ve never run that on my own. Kara, Den­nis, Boy Jamie, and every­one else did so well with the hills, back­wards run­ning, and high knees! It was fun run­ning with my fel­low Asians, too

   Kudos to those of you who com­pleted all 5 days this week — you must have legs/buns/abs/lungs of steel! And to those of you who still have per­fect atten­dance — DANG! KEEP IT UP! THAT IS OUTSTANDING!

   Hope you have a rest­ful week­end! If you’re look­ing for some­thing fun to do out­side, check out the Fes­ti­val On Ponce: http://​fes​ti​val​on​ponce​.com/

   Yeah for per­fect atten­dance! the grouches above are just pre­tend­ing not to be proud, but they secretly are very proud. As antic­i­pated, we had one more drop-out (and yes, Gra­ham, I know you didn’t have a choice, but still). But don’t you feel awe­some!? It is a badge of honor, espe­cially with a 5 day week! Cherry, Susan, Gra­ham, Wes Wes, Shazia and me! One more week left and we can just take off the entire month of August!

   I was also very proud of all the super rock­ets (Kath­leen, I thought you changed the name?) today. Every­one that I chal­lenged totally stepped up and exceeded my chal­lenge. Kate, Chris, Wes and Shazia all gave me the go-to-hell-look when I offered up my chal­lenge, but they all just kept at it. Great job! Rest up this week­end and get ready for week 4!

    SO impressed by every­one who pushed so, so hard today! Nice.
    Leigh and Daniel .. thanks as usual for always push­ing us and never let­ting us get off easy. Leigh and Daniel in front of pack = pace your­self stat. Loved the vari­ety. Even know I joke about how I don’t trust you .. ” it’s all down­hill from here” (before sev­eral front to backs) … I really appre­ci­ate all that you and the other instruc­tors do. And yes,we can do a hydra­tion sta­tion in front of Casa Land any run day
