Ending week four in Knoxville
Wow! I can't believe that Ken Young managed to blog today from the Tenn. BFL Champions' weekend. But then on second thought....of course I do! I belive that anything Ken sets his mind to---he'll do it with power and finesse.
Last night after our big Bowling adventure many of the attendees gathered at the Applebee's next to our motel for a late night (sixth meal of the day.) I can't tell you how exciting it is to finally put a three dementional perspective to the faces and names of all the buddies I have met via the guestbook and the BFL tracker these past two years. We filled four of the high rise tables in the bar area. And it was such a powerhour of fun and sharing tips.
It seems no matter where they are in their transformation process....there is a special energy that BFL'ers OWN. You really can spot them blocks away. They are bright eyed, they walk with a spring in their step..they really do glow!
There are so many things I'd like to share with you about the past 24 hours or so...but I'll quickly focus on a spectacular moment in the RUSH gym this morning.
Our friend, Mary Wade climbed a mountain! With skill and grace she conquered the climbing wall and rang the bell. The room broke into a thunderous round of applause.
Then after much support from my buddies--I too decided to climb the wall.
Mary had lead the way....so I figured...maybe it was possible for me too.
I did my very best...got 3/4ths the way up and had to give up.
But...for someone who fears heights...I'm happy with my effort.
Next year--I plan to ring that bell too!
Tonight we will be donning our Sunday best for a Champion's dinner.
I'll blog about that tommorrow night when I return to Moose Lake.
Congratulations on making it to the end of week four. Enjoy free day...and tommorrow try something that really challenges you!
