Running for the Bling!

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!
