This is the most amazing group of people I am so lucky to have found this summer. My friend Sharon (one of the trainers here at Bootcamp Fitness) and I were talking at the end of the school year just a few months ago about the triathlons we were planning on participating in this summer. It makes so much more sense for Sharon to do a triathlon, as she is a tremendous athlete.  I had decided, rather impulsively, that I would go with some girlfriends to Chicago this summer and participate in my first race to celebrate my 40th birthday. Now, I am not an athlete, although I am pretty active and have run several 5Ks and bike fairly often, but to do a triathlon is kind of a big deal. So Sharon and I were talking, and she encouraged me to try her gym. One thing led to another, and I am completely hooked. I honestly think if I hadn’t work so hard with Coach Rut and Sharon these past few months I would be nowhere NEAR as ready to do this race next weekend. I won’t be setting any records, but barring any crazy situations, I feel pretty confident that I will finish the race, upright on my own accord. :-). I might even do another one next year! Yes, I can talk big like that BEFORE the race. I think I said that after each of my babies too. 🙂 I did however stop having babies at two. Hopefully I can do more triatholons than babies. Mabye THAT is my new goal!

Anyhow, I am excited to help Coach Rut with his new website, you can see it HERE. We had a great photo session last week and I have many more images and a video to share that you will see soon, so check back on bootcampfitnesskc.com often! And sign up for a class while you are there – I promise you, you won’t regret it. You don’t have to be training for some crazy midlife crisis race.

So, thanks Coach Rut and Coach Sharon for your encouragement!  See you tomorrow AM at 6:00!
