HAVE YOU SEEN THE LADIES WITH THE TIRES IN HAPPY CAMP?

If you frequent the beach at Happy Camp in the early evening hours I'm guessing you already know what I am talking about, or have wondered the same thing.  What are those women doing with those tires in Happy Camp?  There's always at least two of them (women I mean), but sometimes three, or four.  They have shorts on, headbands, ponytails and carry a tire over one shoulder.  Sometimes they even throw their tires down and jump in the bay! Their demeanor is upbeat.  They have smiles on their faces, but something about that tire over one shoulder says they mean business!

Well, the wait for the answer is over.  And business we do mean!  Myself, along with a couple of friends & co-workers, including my sister (who just passed her Real Estate test today, by the way, and will be joining Rob Trost Real Estate Tillamook effectively immediately) have been meeting in Happy Camp 2-3 days a week for what we like to call 'Beach Boot Camp.'  We picked up the tires from the local Les Schwab (used 16" & 17" low profile tires to be exact...the guys working in there that day were pretty curious as to what we were going to do with them!  Thanks for the awesome tires, fellas!) and have created a workout from scratch that is kicking our booties!! 

We've been working out consistently and together now since June 10, 2012.  What started off as the possibility of being a fun and exciting outdoor workout for the Summer has turned into something we are committed to, look forward to and have received dramatic results from, both physically and mentally (killer workouts mean a great increase in productivity for me at home and at work!)  This past Summer was one of the best I've had in years, which I attribute a large portion of to our workouts.

Things are changing, the weather and tides in particular, with the arrival of Fall and soon to be Winter, but we have decided to push through and continue rain, shine, wind, hail, high tide, or otherwise.  One can only imagine what that will entail (I will be sure to keep you updated.)  Our first rainy day workout since we started in June was two weeks ago Saturday.  It poured on us.  Rain dripped from our noses and the wind blew, the rain needling us at times, but something about it was every bit as exciting and rewarding.  A little more clean up on the tail end (no pun intended) once you arrive home, but I think well worth the additional effort.  I have (we all have) sand in places we didn't know sand could go.  I am talking about our ears of course, but it comes with the territory.  I think I speak for all of us when I say we are willing to accept it for the benefit of our well being!
So, if you see us out there give us a "Hoorah!"  We love the workout, but additionally love the support!  Hot boot camp beach babes coming your way Summer 2013.  Get Ready!! 

I'd love to tell you  more about our workouts, but then you might have to join us.  Be careful what you ask for!  Stop by the office for a cup of coffee and I might show you a few of our secret moves...See you on the beach!

p.s.  Dusty Trost was out there with us last night.  That's a big deal!
