Welcome to everyone that is reading this blog to our newest method of communication between your boot camp instructors and campers and friends and family of The American Boot Camp Company. We have many exciting things going on this year and one of my fellow instructors suggested I start to blog everything. I was planning on it, but her email pushed me over the edge, and what better time to start blogging then on the first day of our 4th season at Blackburn Park.
February 4th, 2008 - Season 4 Blackburn Park
Today was a glorious start to 2008 and hopefully is an indicator of things to come this year. The weather was about 50 degrees and although the weather man said it was 100% raining, the raindrops barely made it to the ground.
So with wet pavement and a great group of 33 campers we started the year! "How's everybody doing today? Are you ready to have some fun?"
So what a great group, too! This is our second season operating in February and we have smashed our 2007 numbers. Last year, we had only 24 at Blackburn - most of which were Veterans. Today we topped the scales with 15 new people! And they were all awesome! I can't wait to see them make progress and reach their goals.
Stay tuned for a day by day, play by play to February!

Mari,
It was a great morning to start the season. I think all the vets would again, we'll take the 50 degree weather today over the February 2007 sub-freezing temperatures.
Thanks for setting up the blog. Social media is becoming such an important part of our lives these days. I look forward to reading your updates.
Hasta mañana

All - what a great morning. James is soo right that 50 degrees make a HUGE difference. Last year the February mornings were in the teens.
Thanks to all of you for a great workout today. I really thought that Ken did a nice job this morning. He was loud and descriptive in the warm-up. It was good and prepared the campers for the heavy dose of leg work that they got in the workout. Mari, our instructors made Ken and my respective jobs easy today. Support of the instructors can really make a workout be awesome. I tended to stay on the side of the 'cone field' closest to the hill and Emily, Debbie, and Allie were really supporting their groups – consistently motivating. That consistency is key in pushing people out of their comfort zone – and you saw that across the board today.
I thought that they were going to die when we did the frog hops, squat thrusts, and burpees – but they powered it out. Anyways, from my vantage point, it was a clean workout that moved right along. Thanks for your help guys - we have an awesome group of campers and instructors and we call all make a difference in the journey that the campers are embarking on this month....
