Tuesday, October 25

The longest day yet.  Why does it seem like the days where you don't teach many classes feel interminable?  I expected the grade three class which didn't show up, and then I took all of two kids to the pool for swimming club.  The highlight of the day was Maya picking me up and taking me to the gym she attends.  It's impressive; two floors of equipment and class space, and a pool outside.  Most of it is a really open design; you can even train on equipment outside.  You've gotta love a climate that let's you do that year round!

Maya is very fit; there was no way I could keep up with her, and I didn't try.  Much.  I did what she did, only at about 30% of the weight, until she started doing chin-ups and lifts.  There's no way I'm lifting all of this off the ground!  She was a great guide; we laughed as much as I worked!

I'm really thinking of joining.  The gym is in Pinares, which is really no where near my home, but I think it might be worth it.  It means paying one monthly fee, and then being able to take as many classes (spinning, yoga, dance, aerobics) as I can fit into my schedule, while the pool and equipment is open from 5 am to 10 pm Monday through Friday, and shorter hours on the weekends.

It all comes down to motivation and will power.  Always back to that.
