Oh the Weekend

It wasn't too hard to get up Saturday. I just had to lift one leg at a time out of the bed, I had to walk on the balls of my feet because my calves were screaming. I reached for my hairbrush and had to hold up one arm with the other to get my hair pulled back. All in all I was doing ok. I grabbed some peanut butter toast, my water, and headed out the door. We were pretty fortunate, the weather was more like a morning in March than July. We had a great breeze going, got some oxygen in my lungs. I was early, and got there shortly before to meet Robin. She reminds me a lot of my High School trainer, which was probably, ok definitely, the healthiest, fittest time of my life. I didn't realize that I was twisting my hands anxiously around my bottle until she asked if I was nervous. I pathetically jump and whelped out NO. Guess I screwed up that first impression.

We met at one of the local parks, I was surprised to not see everyone from the class before. Apparently, on Saturday mornings, all of the classes combine for a big group workout, there was about 15 of us. Somehow I managed to get smack in the middle beside the girl that Robin, the other instructor, liked to use as an example. Not that I am real competitive, but my brain goes crazy and I guess it thinks that I have to try and keep up with Turbo Girl. I don't even think that she broke a sweat. It was a great workout. So great in fact that I forgot about the pain in my legs in calves, or maybe I just went numb. Can't wait for Tuesday.
