Learning new tricks -- and some sad news.

I spent all day Saturday in training for this fun to exercise program called Kinesis. The West Sacramento Rec center opens in ONE week and is going to offer it. I'm really excited -- and really sore! It's an awesome system -- a total-body workout in a 30 minute class. Here's a photo that sort of captures it.
The Rec Center looks great so far. Next Saturday is the ribbon-cutting, and it opens Monday the 26th for a FREE week and then Feb. 1 starts business as usual. The other instructors seem great (hi Darcy!) -- can't wait.

And for the sad news -- this will be my last week at 15th Street Fitness. I will miss teaching there and everyone in the classes (though I don't see so many 15th friends since they took the night classes away).

I hope to see some of you West Sac folks at the new Rec Center. Looks like it's going to be fun.







In about 6 days, I'm turning another year older. I have a line from Our Town in my head this week: "It goes so fast. We don't have time to look at one another."
Emily learned this only after she died though, so maybe my ruminations and rumblings this week are really just evidence that I'm ahead of the game.
I think I'd like to be seven again so birthdays are exciting and I can 'do whatever I want all day.' This was more exciting when I was 7 -- at this point in my life, I can pretty much do what I want all day anyway. Highlights then were choosing what we would have for dinner and getting to ride in the front seat all day. I'll have to think on what it is I want to do that would capture that excitement.
