Ear to Shoulder!

Wall Park Boot Campers know that means "that's a wrap." Another fantastic summer in the books. I was thrilled with the fact that we had no rainy days, a few days with completely dry grass, and barely any bugs. Who could ask for more?

I was also thrilled with your progress in such a short time. In 61 days there was a particularly good improvement in your cardio fitness (with both 1 and 2 milers,) and your upper body strength (15 of you doubled your pushups.)

We talked about boot camp being a "checkpoint along your fitness journey," and when you complete one leg of the journey you take a quick rest, then set your eyes on your next checkpoint. Are you looking for your next challenge? One of our campers, Karla, is helping to organize a 5k coming up in September. Check it out here: http://www.harambeefoundation.org/h5k.html

Thanks very much for the giftcard! It was thoughtful and very much appreciated. You all are the best, and have a way of making waking up before it's light out somewhat easier to do.

Please keep in touch, and check back for updates about next summer. I'll leave you with just a few snapshots from our mornings:
