Today was "the great awakening". I feel like a bear that left the cave after winter hibernation. Janie and I checked in at Crull Fitness Center at 10:00 a.m. and Julian, our personal trainer, got us moving at 10:01! Julian looks alot like Chachi from the TV show Happy Days, no kidding! (Actually, he does look like a kid, but then to me, anyone under the age of 30 looks like a kid to me!)
For the next hour an a half, Julian had us both moving, up and down, back and forth from machine to machine and my old muscles creaked and groaned and sputtered to life like a piece of antiquated equipment. I remember mumbling something about "evil" when he said 20 more reps.. But, it felt great and I left with no doubts that I really am on my way to getting fit for this 39 mile walk. Since my Avon training guide suggests cross training weekly, I've decided to meet up with Janie (and Chachi) on Tuesday mornings. Think I'll go plop myself down in the jacuzzi for awhile.... stay tuned.
One more thing I want to share with you:
Yesterday afternoon, I went to Terrace Elementary School to judge a spelling bee. I was quite taken with the words that were on the tote bag of a 5th grade contestant, so I took this picture to share with all of you. What a nice surprise from a wee one, eh?
(p.s. The spelling bee was great fun!)
