Time to lower the flag, roll up the sleeping bag, track all the dirt into the car and head home.
Rita and I had a lot of fun with Kamp this month, even if it wasn't all lollypops and rainbows.
Some of it was a bit rough. But hey, nothing gets your heart rate up like being whacked by a strange huge man with a stick! Am I right??
Anyway, I'm proud to report that we DID manage to meet the challenge and get in an extra 20-30 minutes of activity 3-4 times/week. In fact, we did extra almost every day since Kamp started. I thought it was going to be hard, since we were already walking a marathon a week, but it wasn't that bad. (Luckily we had the hubs dragging us out for that extra walk every night.) Even if we (read: I) grumbled, it was nice in the end to go for an evening stroll.
And even though I may have maligned her a bit on the blog yesterday (a bit of exaggeration for silliness' sake), Rita really is a great walking partner. She's not nearly as sniffy as our beagle was, and we go at a good clip. I'm sure a lot of folks get bored with walking their dog, day in, day out, but we have lovely places to explore here, and we try to mix it up.

Great kamp wrap up :-)
ReplyDeleteYou and Rita probably live in one of the best spots ever for walking a lot! Your area is just so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteRita - hope you've gotten back to the beach since that ugly jerk disrupted your walk. You own that place! We're so happy to have you be part of our FitDog Friday Hop each week - we're looking forward to many more. So many of our Hoppers have such fun ideas for keeping their dog fit - trying to try them all will be a challenge for all of us.
ReplyDeleteGreat that kamp was fun and you both enjoyed it. Have a fabulous fit Friday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
I love that you and Rita make such an effort to enjoy the amazing beauty of your home. So many people stop appreciating the loveliness all around them.
ReplyDeleteI'd feel much more jealous of your beach views if I thought you weren't appreciating them as much as I would. :)
Thanks for mentioning our mini challenges. I feel like we really started a regular fitness routine during Kamp but we were derailed because I got sick. Hopefully we can pick it back up when I get better. It does help that we have two Doxie neighbor friends that always ask us to go walking with them.
ReplyDeleteGizmo and I had a great time at Kamp trying out new activities and exploring new options in our town...We're going to try to keep up all our new good habits...See you at Kamp in October!
ReplyDeleteFitness is never over...just this challenge is over, you are right on that. Hope everyone stays motivated and keeps up their fitness so we are all ready for Kamp in the fall!
ReplyDeleteIt sucks that you had such a bad experience but you rose above it and completed the challenge.
ReplyDeleteWe too thought adding extra time in would be hard but we managed as well and I think we enjoyed it too. It was fun challenging ourselves and I can't wait to see what October brings.
Oh, you do have a beautiful place to walk! Love the beach shot!
ReplyDeleteYour pals,
Diane and Rocco
Love that Sloth ... made us yawn. Wish to see the ocean again. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
ReplyDeleteThose were great awards you got last year! I'm glad you had a good time at Kamp! Your little movies made me laugh!
ReplyDeleteYou mean I don't get to go back to being a sloth today? Boo to that!
ReplyDeleteWe're so glad that you guys joined us for Kamp! I always love your beach pictures, although, that lollipop gif is kind of amazeballs too.
