Thank you Cathe.
I had such a great time. I really appreciate the time you give to these events.
It was a blast meeting all the new Roadtrippers and catching up with many of the oldtimers.

These weekends always inspire me and give me new motivation to continue on my fitness journey.

Thank you also to the Coordinators, the Crew, Cathe.com team, Chris, Altus and the Caterers!!!!!. Absolutely fantanstic food.

Saundra, I missed saying goodbye to you at breakfast! You really must get a new avatar picture. This one definitely does not do you justice

Just in case anyone didn't see the blog or my post in this forum

A HUGE AND WARM THANK YOU to all of our 2009 Road Trippers! What a fun and motivating bunch of Cathletes you are! Super charged with enthusiasm from the word go, how inspiring! It was such a great pleasure to meet each and every one of you this weekend. While most of you were attending your first road trip it was also very nice to have many of you come back for your 2nd, 3rd, even 4th road trip….I just love that!!! It was fun to see you all bond together so well as each of the weekend’s events unfolded. The memories of the fun we had and the friendships we made will last a lifetime. From our Friday kick off workout to our Sunday goodbye breakfast, there was not a moment that went by that I didn’t stop pinching myself at your wholehearted excitement, genuine affection, and positive energy. What a pleasure it was to get to know you all a little better this weekend. I was so touched by your sweet words and sincere loyalty. My heart filled up with deep emotion as you walked up to me with endearing tears of appreciation and shared your deepest life changing moments since you began working out with me. I am teary eyed all over again as I write this! What an honor it is to know that I am such an important part of your every day fitness routine and that your children, families, and friends all know me on a first name basis and have even adopted or created a “catheism” or two. Thank you for sharing all of your pictures, stories, accomplishments, goals and dreams. You sure do know how to make this Jersey girl’s heart swell with gratitude and affection. I love you all!!!
I also want to thank you, along with Chris, for those to very adorable singing cards and your words of thanks within them. Those special words along with your extremely generous gift card to Nike was very touching to us. Equally touching, and exceptionally moving to me, was the “What Cathe Means To Me” slide show gift you presented me with. OMG, I was so hugely surprised and grabbed off guard with emotion. I later was told that while this was presented to me at the road trip, it was a gift open to everyone on Cathe Nation to participate in. So thank you everyone from the bottom of my heart….for your love, your support, your honor and your trust. I simply would not be who I am today without all of you….and there is not a day that goes by that I don’t think about how happy and grateful I am to be able to share the gift of health and fitness with every one of you! You are my source of inspiration and I am so happy that we are on this journey of well being together.
Thank you again and I hope to see you at another Roadtrip in YOUR area this year!
Big Warm Hugs,
Cathe

This is sooooo awesome to hear! What a cool pilot!!! I love his spirit!


PS - got SO many comments on the Cathlete t-shirt on the way home, it was so cool! We made friends with the pilot while we were waiting and told him all about it (he asked!!) and when he was announcing the flight once we boarded, he said "and a special welcome to the catheletes!" - how COOL is that?! Only true Catheletes would love that ;-)[/quote]
