It's back by popular demand, and -- believe it or not -- it's EVEN LONGER than last time!!!
An Ode to the Cathe Road Trip...PART TWO!!!
The fourth Cathe Road Trip
Began on October fifteen.
There were many new faces
And a Buddha belly to be seen!
About 50 of VF's Cathe fans
Were able to show.
Some, with their hubbies
And babies in tow.
We checked out vids by the FIRM,
Kari, Christi and Billy.
But after Aaron’s “Don’t hurt me!”
Things got a little silly.
After a good night's sleep
And breakfast to refuel
We headed to Cathe's
For a step class -- how cool!
We did lots of fun moves,
Some from Step Works and MIC.
You could feel the whole room
Was chock full of energy.
By the time it was over
We were all ready to eat.
Lunch at the Italian Bistro...
Oh, what a treat!
After a yummy lunch
Came our strength workout.
With those muscles on fire
Many let out a shout.
Pat corrected our form
Throughout Body Pump
So that now, when we squat,
Our shoulders won't slump.
Sneaky VFers distracted Cathe
On Saturday night
So that Nancy and Wendy
Could whip up their "Devil Dog Delight."
Baby shower time had arrived --
Boy, time sure does fly!
Cathe said she was so touched,
She thought she might cry.
Even Jon was put
In the spotlight a bit,
When it was time to check out
His "Official Labor Coach Kit."
After the last VFer
Headed out the door,
Did anyone watching Cathe Cam
Catch Cathe vacuuming the floor?
Our Sunday morning workout
Began with power step.
I'm surprised at that early hour
We all had enough pep!
Then on to kickboxing...
Our legs were on fire!
But that slavedriver Cathe
said,
"Kick higher! Kick higher!"
The sweat poured down
As we gave it our best.
But even with her Buddha belly
Cathe still kicked the highest!
Off to PB's for brunch,
Where we chatted up a storm.
Who says people you meet online
Can't be this friendly and warm?!
The food was terrific
But Cathe's really looked delish --
It was Cleda's favorite,
That waffles & ice cream dish!
Time to say farewell,
It went by too fast.
Hopefully, this poem
Will help the memories last.
But we'll come back someday
To meet that bundle of joy,
That in-utero kickboxer,
Cathe and Jon's bouncing baby boy!
This trip was soooo much fun. They just get better every time! It was great to see familiar faces and to meet some new ones. It was nice to meet WWWendy in person -- and Ian and Lucas, too! And Laura's little one was so amazing -- Andrew seemed to thoroughly enjoy sitting in his carrier, watching his mommy work out. Can you believe he actually SLEPT through most of Sunday's workout? Even with the music blasting and 50 women (give or take a few) whooping and hollering through the whole thing! Major thanks to Beth and Lisa for all the planning they did (we all missed you!), and to Nancy and Wendy T. for seeing the whole thing through. And REALLY major thanks to Cathe, Jon, Chris, Pat, Adam, Rhonda and everyone else at Four Seasons and Cathe.com for yet another wonderful weekend! To quote Cathe, "Seeya next workout!"
Lynne (whose "next workout" just might be IntervalMax, while my motivation is still sky-high!)
