While I’m way up north getting ready to ski, a woman approaches me and asks where the Get Fit NH Bootcamp is (I was wearing my fleece jacket). I tell her we are in Epsom NH. Lo and behold she also attends a fitness bootcamp. So now we start swapping ‘war stories’… she tells me, they are out there at 5am with their little head lamps on. I tell her we are both inside and out. She asked if we run around with weighted sand bags, and if we do ‘ladders’ — “oh yes we do ladders, and don’t you just love 1500?!” She thought they were the only bootcamp in NH. Surprise! There are about 13 programs in the state that call themselves “bootcamp”, but in my eyes there is only ONE!
She mentioned that they all run the Rock n’ Race 5K in Concord in May. Huh?! Well… I tell her, we will see her and her team there. I told her to keep her eye out for the ’Bootcamp Bunch’.
By now my boys are rolling their eyes and tugging me out to the slopes. As we leave my oldest looks at me, shakes his head and says “Mom, you’ll talk to anyone”. He’s right… I do… I can’t help it.
So, now that there is another bootcamp entering the Rock n’ Race, we cannot be undone. We need to show the State of NH that we are the largest Bootcamp, and the most fun! Make sure you schedule it in your calendar.

As a side note: I think while the Road Crew have their New Englander Orange hats… that the 5 AM-ers need to adopt the head light idea. Just a thought!
