I want to extend a huge congratulations to one of my regular FitCampers for running his first road race and completely owning it!  Garret Gee rocked a solid 8:18 pace per mile at the Queens 10K race this past weekend, especially impressive for someone who used to consider himself a "non-runner". In two months time, a combination of weekend FitCamp sessions, individual plyometric training, clean eating (mostly), and approximately two ~six-mile runs a week has scored Garret a brag-worthy performance.  When asked why he did it, Garret replied "I just wanted the BLING!"  Unfortunately this year, NYRR opted to give out tech shirts instead of medals.  I guess Garret will have to run another race! 

An inspiring example of a little commitment going a long way!

The good thing and bad thing about Central Park is that it is a ZOO of a meet up location.  Street entertainers, charity events, tourists, eclectic people all congregate by the USS Maine Monument.  For this reason, I am moving my FitCamp meet up spot to the water fountain in front of Ferrara Cafe.  Now, you might say 'Wait a minute.  There are two Ferrara Cafes!'.  Well, the one I am referencing is closest to Central Park South.  If you are in the right spot you should be able to see a FedEx office across the street. 

On Weekends, we will still meet at the West 63 Street Entrance to Central Park.
