The Burpee Mile

 

The Burpee mile was amazing! By far one of my favorite events of this year!

So great, I did not take one picture, Grade A blogger right here. Good thing this girl was there. I also got some pictures from other friends that were at the event! There are so many more pictures, I’ll have to post a little later because I haven’t gotten ahold of them.

Before we started Burping we had a quick Zumba warm up my Teresa! This girl, rocks it. Love her Zumba! (I’m not a zumba fan per say, so when I say that..that is BIG.)

After a quick welcome and booty shakin, it was time to get burpin.

We all followed Neil out on the first lap. Together we burped to one end of the park and back.

Each gym/sponsor had a turn to lead! I even had the opportunity to lead part of it! (pics to come of that action!)

There was a lot of burping and some walking.. I even saw some lunging!

After the event, there were granola bars, bagels, vita waters and a little H2O to refuel with along side of free massages and a free foot analysis by a few sponsors!

There were SO many sponsors at the burpee mile!

 Fitmixer was there, serving a bit of this for some pre-workout energy! As a proud ambassador, I was excited to have them there!

There was even a inflatable bounce house for the kids!

After the race, I stuck around to help with clean up and take a few pics with a few friends.

Janetha, me, Kym, Heather and Melissa Post Burp!

GPP sure knows how to throw together an amazing event in only a few weeks! Liz was the captain of this thing, and she was a rock star through the whole thing! I am so lucky to be surrounded by such amazing people. It’s ALL or nothing with us. I love it!

With the help of all the participants and sponsors we were able to raise thousands of dollars for

“no more victims”!

Would I do a mile of burpees ever again?

In a heart beat! Especially for this cause.

Hope your having a great weekend! I’m going to head out to see “Pitch Perfect.”  with my sister in-law, Janey! Off to get ready!!
