Some thoughts and discussions from me.
Boot Camp in the Snow
Good morning!
I made a short little vlog for you guys
Friday night I met some of my Saturday morning boot campers at one of our favorite local spots to eat and drink for some tamales and boot camp margaritas. All week last week, the weatherpeeps were promising 8-14 inches in the front range, starting after midnight on Friday night. Friday afternoon, I finally put the email out cancelling boot camp the following morning.
But then you know what happens after a margarita or two…
Soon the group thought it was a fabulous idea to still do boot camp in a blizzard. Challenge accepted.
So we met at 8:30 in the morning, in pouring down, wet, soppy snow. Granted, I made the workout a shorter one, but it was intense.
Operation: Burn off the Margaritas Boot Camp
In partners:
30 vertical jumps
30 paces farmer walks down and back
30 burpees
30 push ups
30 dips
Indian runs
It only took a little more than 15 minutes, but at the end, everyone was WIPED – and my hair was sopped, haha. Then we grabbed breakfast at a diner across the street and warmed up with coffee, tea, and carnitas (well, that was just me – it was their special, and it was delicious.)
And that was about the extent of the snowstorm! After a promise of a ha-yuge storm, Shane and I cancelled our plans of driving to Ft. Collins, in lieu of a Season 5 Parks and Rec marathon. Fine with me. The show is pure genius.
I really want to be BFF’s with Leslie Knope.
Unfortunately, we’re almost caught up with season 5 now, so I’ll have to go find some other show to become obsessed with. On my tried-but-no-luck list of shows are:
Arrested Development (just mildly funny)
Downton Abbey (only a little entertaining – and I’m on episode 5)
Homeland (just can’t get into it!)
I think there’s a couple more, but that’s all I’ve got for now.
Welp, off to seize the day! It’s a super incredibly busy day for me, starting at 6:15 a.m. and ending at 7:15 p.m. All fun fitness schtuff, though See ya!
What about you? Working out in the snow: yay or nay?
YAY FOR SURE!!!!

YAY for bootcamp in the snow! You and your group are awesome! I’m watching the full series of Parks and Rec again and it never gets old. L.I.T.E.R.A.L.L.Y… 😉
I hope you have a great week Paige!
Oh, I liked Raising Hope. I watched it with the boys one weekend when Tony was away and thought is was funny. Very dry humor…

Considering I live with the snow 7 months of the year I guess yay. Lol. I would never choose it over sun though!

your bootcampers are hard core! I would totally wuss out! It saddens me you can get into Homeland, I love it! My boyfriend loves Parks and Rec I rarely watch it but know I am missing out on a good show!

Omg you don’t like Arrested Development? Totally secretly judging you over here…it’s hilarious! You have to give it another chance. I’m also a huge Downton fan but I’m still very bitter about Season 3. So it’s ok if you don’t like that one haha 🙂

Your boot campers are dedicated. I love it. I’m not quite sure I would have been so motivated 😉
Have you tried House of Cards yet? I’ve heard it’s really good.

Wow, you guys are hardcore! I think I’d like to try it once!
I’m watching The Following on Hulu or reg T.V. not sure what night it’s on. And I LOVE Grimm.. Friday nights, again I watch on Hulu! The following has Kevin Bacon. It’s an FBI murder action/thriller and Grimm is about all things not of this world…. 🙂
see I think she is funny but that’s one show I just haven’t really ever followed. Now New Girl that’s friggin fun stuff
Amanda @RunToTheFinish recently posted…Exercise…for your face?
Um, you guys are crazy! It snowed in London today and it was the third time EVER that I’ve seen snow. I left work two hours early because I was so cold in my heated office so I would definitely not survive training outside!

Hahaha burst out laughing at the Barney throw out. I adore that show to pieces. I love that your bootcamp was so down for a snow storm challenge. That would be super fun!
Yay for working out in the snow, now if only we ever got any!

You’ve got an impressive group if they’re willing to work out outdoors in the winter…pretty sure the last time I worked out outside was in September or October. I do not do cold weather!

I’m such a chicken in the snow! I think I would have sat that one out. lol I am finished with Downton Abbey… I was so obsessed!

I’ve just gotten Downton Abbey but haven’t watched it. Homeland I watched the first few episodes but haven’t progressed.
Wow snow workouts is damn impressive.

I LOVE this!! What a cool group of bootcampers you’ve got! I’d try a snow workout, why not? You’d work harder to stay warm!
Since you canceled your Fort Collins trip, know that I’ll go back with you VERY SOON. 🙂 I need to visit New Belgium!!
Do you watch Parenthood? That’s one you should go through on Netflix if you don’t already.
