A Big Warm Hello To All Of Our Daytona Cathletes!!! Oh my goodness, the pace has been non-stop since I have flown back from our road trip a couple of weeks ago and I have missed you all greatly.
I wanted to thank each and every one of you for coming out to Daytona to share such a wonderful weekend with me as well as with one another. There is no doubt in my mind we have created a lifetime of memories on this road trip. I also wanted to thank EVERYONE for that wonderful card and gift certificate to NIKE. That was so nice (and sneaky,
) of you all. I was touched by your generosity I will be sure to get something special to remind me of our fabulous weekend.
Over the last couple of weeks we have posted hundreds of pictures for you to enjoy, reminisce over, and share with your family and friends. Many of you have expressed how fun the weekend was because you could just let loose and have fun expressing your excitement and love for fitness amongst other Cathletes. Everyone here "get's it" is what many of you said. I am having a blast looking at these photos. Whether posed or impromtu, they all exude energy. I loved everything about the weekend. From classes, to mealtime bonding, to fireside chit chatting, to taking walks in the ocean breeze....it was just awesome to do this with all of you. I think almost everyones favorite class was Boot Camp on the Beach. Working hard along the ocean air and cooling down to a barefoot splash in the water. But really the entire weekend was loaded with non-stop activity, laughter and bonding. We even had a couple of husbands, who are also committed Cathletes, sign up and join in the fun....way to go!!!! My sister, a local Floridian, also jumped in our Cathlete camp and wore her stripes proudly A few of your brought your families to the resort for an extended vacation and I enjoyed meeting them and hearing how proud they were of you.
How about the Casting Call turnout ???? Wow, we had such a large audition for that. That's just fantastic!!! Thank you for taking the time to do this. As I talked to you in the hallway, I was moved at how much time you took to prepare for this audition and when it was your turn, how much of your heart and soul you poured into this. After filming is complete I will go through each audition with my full and undivided attention. Linda and Tom, our audition team, wished me luck upon handing me the tape as they said all of the auditions were outstanding. Way to work it Cathletes!!!!
I also want to take this time to thank Cyndi (aka Retrofit on the Cathe forums) for volunteering her time to help with registration, event details, and most especially, take photo's of us the entire weekend. Cyndi, I don't know how you do it with 6 camera's on one arm, 4 with special instructions on the other, and 7 more on the table in front of you. You get us to smile and capture the moment every time. I can tell you love what you do just from viewing your pictures. Bless your heart and your stamina. I'd like to thank the DJ Neal for his tireless enthusiam in supplying us with high energy music for the entire weekend. Whether we were indoors or outdoors, Neal was always set up and ready to go, playing music to suit our mood. He really rocked it!!! Go Neal! I would also like to thank Linda and Tom from Cathe dot Com for accompanying us on this trip to do the auditions and help with all of the onsight details and PR planning. Your hard work did not go unoticed. I'd also like to thank FeelFitWear for providing all of my workout clothing for the event. Many of you asked about my outfits, espcially those blue kickbox pants, and I will provide more specific info for that in another post. I'd also like to thank all of the staff and management at Daytona Beach Resorts for their wonderful hospitality and friendly accomodations....and yes, we can go through some water
A very special thank you goes out to our sponsor Eggland's Best for allowing us the opportunity to present you with our National Fitness Tour. With their help, we are able to bring our road trips to your hometown. Btw, I also really enjoyed the various high protein, low fat egg recipes that they prepared each morning to fuel us for our high energy day.
But once again, I have to say, my biggest thank you of all goes out to all of you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for joining me on such a special and endearing weekend. Your laughter, and yes, even your tears, have moved me beyond words. These trips are a time for me to get to know you on a deeper, more personal level and that I did. Please keep all of your dreams alive and your hearts and souls empowered. You inspire me more than you will ever know!!!!!!
