Winner Adela Garcia
Each competitor performs a routine that incorporates dance, flips, pushups, various body supporting stands, jumps, stretches, and their own personality flair combined with the music and costumes of their choice. A couple of my favorite stories told through the women’s routines involved a matador, a homeless drunk, a puppy, and a sexy Darth Vader.
It looks like it would be super fun to be a fitness competitor! If I had the time (in other words, if I didn’t have a full time job), I would consider getting a coach and making a go of an amateur contest. Except for one problem…I’ll never have the gymnastic skills of these women! And I doubt I could ever support my body weight on one arm. Or do one-handed pushups. OK, so that’s more than one problem. Oh well! It’s fun to dream anyway.

Run 9.25 miles - Awesome weather around 60 F and sunny! This run felt hard - kicked my butt. Maybe my 2 hour trail half goal is a little ambitious for the training time I have left. Hmm. Total time 1:26:52, Avg mile 9:23.
Walk on the Ken-O-Sha trails with the hubby - 2 miles
