She Must Be Crazy!

I'm talking about Kyna and her fitness boot camp at Dyess Air Force Base!

I decided to join her on Thursday to see what this fitness camp was all about and if I wanted to join in March. Camp starts at 4:45am and ends at 5:45am but it was the looonngest, I mean longest hour of my life! I kept looking at the clock hoping it would be 5:45 but at that point it was about 4:58am.

We did a lot of cardio... running, skipping, push ups, lunges, but it was all really intense. At times they would send you to the pit. YOU DON'T WANT TO GO TO THE PIT, TRUST ME! They make you do 25 push ups, (I can barely do about 3). They send you whenever they want and sometimes its over and over again.

Although that morning was pretty intense, I did not realize how much worse it was going to get until I woke up Friday morning. Even Thursday night I was already feeling my muscles ache but Friday morning was bad. I couldn't get out of bed! I couldn't bend my legs and let's not talk about trying to go the bathroom when I couldn't bend. I wobbled all day and realized there were some muscles in places, I never knew exsisted!!

I give lots of props to Kyna for going everyday at 4:45am! I did one day and I want to lay in a bath of icy hot for the next few days, so she is definitly a trooper for sticking with it.

These are my confessions.

I joined! ha ha!! It starts March 16 for 6 weeks. I know I will be in much pain but I am hoping by the end of the 6 weeks, I've lost several pounds and gained more energy and strength.
I'll keep you updated on how it goes!
Oh yeah, I must be crazy too!

Where To Go and What To Do?

I've been here over four months now and I still need to travel and get to know Texas!

I've heard so many good things about this state and I feel that it is time that I explore it.

Now, back home when I drove anywhere there were trees with all different colored leaves, sparkling snow, or the beautiful sunrise like you see in this picture on the left or the sunset on the right.
Last week I headed to Midland for a story and it was not at all like home on our way to Midland, but I was constantly amazed at the Wind Turbines and at the large acre farms.

Some would say there is no scenery at all but I love to appreciate every type, it doesn't have to be those trees with orange and red leaves, or the sparkling snow but the lands and farm land I saw on my way to Midland were pretty neat.

It's now time for me to explore other parts of Texas and see what this big beautiful state has to offer.

These are my confessions.

I love to travel but not sure where to go.
I know I can look on the web and find places to travel, but the best locations are places locals have been or traveled to, not a place where some "traveling expert" says it's great! Do you have any ideas?
