You know it’s been a killer morning when by announcements I’m too out of breath to talk and my voice is gone. HOLY BANANAS this morning was a good time!!!!! Some major group bonding occurred because everyone was a little scared running under the pier (you think it was dark at 6:30?!?? Try running under that thing in the pitch blackness of 5:30, unsure whether you’ll make it out to the other side alive).
We got sweaty and we got sandy. We discovered just how deceptively long a sprint is between two lifeguard towers, and that a round of Surfbastians is *almost* enjoyable.
There are so many people I love that I want to write about today, but I have landed on today’s mighty Double-Sessioner Cecy. Cecy will give you hugs so magical you’ll feel like you’re wrapped in a cloud of cotton candy. She is a phenomenal nickname giver (I’m Bambi, by the way), and in over a year of knowing her, I have yet to see Cecy half-ass ANYTHING she does. Her form for bodyweight exercises is awesome and somehow better every time I see her. She will never cut a run short and doesn’t care if she’s the first or the last one finished with a circuit – but you better believe she’s finishing a lap if she starts it. I can say with 100% certainty that Cecy loves you, even if you’re new and barely know her. Next time you’re feeling unmotivated at a workout, scan the area and look for Cecy grinding it out. It’s like having “Eye of the Tiger” suddenly blast inside your head.
Man I still can’t get over how much fun I had. Thanks, tribe, for consistently being a phenomenal reason to get up at 4:40 am. Remember to send words of love and encouragement to everyone running Ventura on Sunday!!!! AND TO COME CHEER! Check out NP-LAX’s Instagram; there will be more dancing in a similar style to the latest video posted.
Do good LA!!!!!
