SUNDAY BOOT CAMP

This is our third boot camp for the week. It's been hard trying to keep a variety of exercises with the equipment I have. Today we did triceps dip using the back of the car, chest fly with the elastic cord and the fence post, abs using the Swiss ball, kettle ball for shoulders and back using a rubber loop. In between each exercise we run up the hill and back.

The weather here has been perfect for working out, this morning it was around 65 and overcast.

Last night we went out for dinner and once again had lobster of some kind. I ordered the lobster BLT with sweet potato fries. It seems like we manage to eat lobster at least once a day.

ANOTHER GOOD RUN

The temperature was 59 when I got up this morning, a little too cool for me to start running. I made some coffee and had a blueberry crumb bar and then when it was around 64 took off.

I stay back in Bayville because the main road is busy. Today I even ran up the hiking trail a bit to see how it was. I have to be careful because there are a lot of roots and stones on the trail and I sure wouldn't want to trip.

My husband passed me in the car, he was returning from his morning drive to get the paper. When I was heading back to the cottage he was waiting across from the post office to get my picture. That little building behind me is the post office for Bayville.

MORE THAN WILD BLUEBERRIES IN MAINE

Last night we had a big lobster fest and cooked 15 lobsters down on the rocks. Later in the evening some got dressed in costumes and we had some dancing and singing.

This morning was beautiful, I got out and ran a little over 2 miles and then my sister and I set up boot camp. We did biceps, delts. abs. push ups and reverse lunges with weights. The weather was a perfect temperature to be out side working out.

I have a pan of blueberry crumb bars in the oven and Joanne is making us meat loaf and mashed potatoes along with home made potato rolls for dinner.

YUMMY LOBSTERS

I think I have had lobster every day since we arrived. As Rachel Ray would say Yummo!

This morning I was up early, the temperature was 59, perfect running weather. I made coffee and after my first cup with a banana I got ready to go run. I am staying in the one area to run, a little afraid to go out on the main highway. I remember the year that Steven King got hit by a car while walking along side the highway. So anyways I just keep running in circles around this little area. There are several steep hills that challenge me so I don't get bored. By the time I was finished the sweat was dripping. Did 4 miles.

MAINE BOOT CAMP

Yesterday was cloudy and cool but I went out and did 3 miles on the hilly streets of Bayville. Came back to the cottage and was going to do laundry only to discover that the power was off for the whole area. Later in the day Henry was going to be delivering 12 lobsters so we were hoping we'd have power by then, which we did.

This morning the sun was shinning and a cool breeze was coming in off the bay. I told my sister I was going for a mile warm up and then we would set up boot camp. We had 5 stations set up and did 3 sets of 10 reps. In between each exercise we ran up the road behind us and back down. We also did 15 sit ups on the ball.

ARRIVED

We were up at 5:30 and leaving the hotel at 6:45 in the morning. Crossed into New York and then an hour later into Connecticut. The weather was sunny and in the 70's and the traffic was light. Next state was Massachusetts and then New Hampshire where we stopped at the liquor store and stocked up on some wines. Finally we were in Maine and headed for our final stop in Bayville. The ladies were out shopping when we arrived but soon returned home.

Dinner was a pork roast with delicious macaroni and fresh tomatoes from Joanne's garden. And for dessert, a fresh baked peach pie.

This morning I awoke to the sound of rain so delayed my workout and run. The temperature wa 65 and breezey. We are all enjoying this cool weather.

ROAD TRIP DAY 3

Pulled out of Bristol and headed north to Virginia. Took about 5 hours to get through then we had a short bit in West Virginia. Stopped at a welcome center and I had to rummage through my suitcase to find my fleece. Was I complaining about the cool weather. Shut my mouth. Next state to mark off was Maryland and then we were headed north into Pennsylvania with a stop for the night in Stranton.

When we checked in I asked about the fitness center and oops, they are remodeling it so for now it is closed. Guess I will take the day off and we can get an earlier start for the final 500 miles to Maine.
