“I think I like today, I think it’s good, it’s something I can get my head around” -Angels and Airwaves. This was my thought as I woke up this morning. After Bo’s lectures of positive thinking and leadership I figure I might as well start putting these principals of good character into action.
The morning run was particularly good. It’s been nice to get away from cow town
Amarillo and enjoy the nice weather in Flagsta
ff. It was the last run with just the 8 day campers so it was nice to soak that in. I know I enjoyed running with the small group of campers and getting to run with Mark was something I had missed. However, when breakf
ast came I was slightly disappointed because there was no pineapple but I just took a deep breath and ate some raisin bran and it was all good.
As the day continued we went through our normal routine of drills and stretching. The core session before lunch was rather fun and I’m sure Stevo enjoyed it as well. Lunch was nice, and myself and a few other campers took a nice power nap to rejuvenate for the evening activities.
It was good to see many friends from last years camp check in for the 5 day. Everyone starts to meet the new campers and catch up with the old ones. Bo sings his classic Bruce Springsteen song and introduces the counselors. Then we form into groups and think of our own way t
o creatively introduce each other. After we introduce ourselves we play an activity with balloons to see which group could work together to get it around in a circle the fastest. However, we have to move our game inside because of rain, and in the end the mighty panda bears took the victory. After the game, we head out for a group run on the trails for a half hour.
In the evening, There were two lectures for returning campers and new campers. I went to the returners lectures to talk about the importance of race plans and strategies. Brian Schrader came to talk to us and it was interesting to see what he had to say.
To wrap up the night we had a scavenger hunt that was very fun and of course Mark had a couple of new ghost stories for those willing to stay up and listen. I am excited to see what the rest of this week holds for us.
