Roonytunes 2006

I also wanted to mention that there was one fitness competitor in particular who really impressed me. She was born with Cystic Fibrosis and was told she wouldn't live past the age of 2. She's now 38 with one child, has had both kidneys replaced as well as a lung transplant AND is a fitness competitor. Her routine brought tears to my eyes and I'm not even an emotional person. Cathy's team personalizes fitness routines based on personalities or backgrounds and this particular woman's routine highlighted her battle with sickness and in the end, she flies off with angel wings. It was beautiful - simply no other words for it.

The other routines were also cool. A girl who has a yoga background had a routine with tons of yoga type moves. Dawn Butterfield who just turned 40 had a routine where she's initially dressed as an old woman with a nightgown and glasses with a walker. She strips it all off and does her moves using the walker. A girl who was a ballerina had a ballerina girl song routine where she walks up as a schoolgirl holding ballerina shoes and then starts spinning and flying all over. I know IP had talked about possibly doing fitness, so IP when you read this, be sure to incorporate your ice-skaing story into your routine.

Ok, I will stop babbling now. But seriously, I am so friggin' rejuvenated to train and eat clean after this weekend and just do something productive with my life.
