Getting fit

I, (Kristin) am working hard to get into shape. I'm doing this for many reasons, but the number one reason is that I'm tired of knowing what my body can't do. I want to push myself and see what I CAN do. I've started a running program. Actually, I need to get back on track (or THE track). It has been so snowy (and the track doesn't get plowed) and Tyler refuses to run on a treadmill. I would run without Tyler but I need him to be the keeper of the watch so I don't cheat or quit early or something.

Anyway, today I tried something new. It's called Drums Alive. Basically, you hop around a gym ball and hit it really hard with drumsticks in a rhythm. I liked it. I felt like I got a good workout and I didn't puke, passout, or feel like I was going to die. BUT - as fate would have it, a newspaper reporter was in the class taking pictures for an upcoming story. Great. My first time in a gym class since college and I'm photographed for the newspaper? I hope that there isn't a shot of me all sweaty doing lunges. EEEKKK. Hopefully I'm not in the shot at all. I'll keep you posted... on second thought - maybe not!!
