Last week, we spent the weekend in the Monart Spa resort, eating, drinking and spa-ing (if that’s a word!) 
It was heavenly…
So, I have decided to shatter all blissful and peaceful memories of that time by joining one of these “boot camps”. Apparently, they are the new black.
You know all about them. They involved an over the top fit lady/man making you run, jump and carry heavy things outside for an hour whilst shouting things like ” You wouldn’t be here if you didn’t need to” “It’s difficult cos you need to be here”
It damages your confidence and your muscle. But, I know it’s good for me. Eire Og is a Carlow-famed sports/GAA club that built a rather fabulous gym last year. Their emphasis is on keeping fit in as many ways as possible, outside of the gym.
They have built a pretty amazing outdoor training area, see the photo here.
They run these boot camps throughout the year and this one ends in a graduation and BBQ.
So, I’ll “fess” up, the aim of this was not to get fit or to meet people. I have a much more simple aim.
Burgers, sausages and wine.
I’ll let you know how it works out but next appointment with pain is the running club this Saturday. Join us at 9 a.m. at Eire Og, if you dare!
