Dear Blogary,
It's hard to believe that this will be my last post for our six-week Fall Bootcamp Training Session. Last night's work out was bittersweet. There's always a huge sense of accomplishment that I feel after completing a session. I enjoy our little group and will miss seeing them and hearing about their lives every Tuesday and Thursday evening. Hopefully some of them will continue on over the winter, or maybe I'll see them again in the spring!
Dear Blog-ary: Time Flies When You Workout!

Dear Bolg-ary,
I can hardly believe that next class will be our final work out in this six week session. In some ways, time has flown by. But, on the other hand, I feel that I've accomplished so much.
Cold weather workouts go unquestioned when evenings are as beautiful as it was last night. It was a clear Autumn evening and the air was crisp and fresh. As I made my rounds through our upper body Tabata workout at Mount Doug Park, I gratefully filled my lungs with the clean ocean air. As much as I enjoy the warmth and security of a heated building on a cold autumn evening, I look forward to getting out of the house and into the elements for a workout. Maybe it's because I'm an Autumn baby, but Fall is by far my favourite season to be outdoors!
