3:29am That when I started my run today- Why so early? Had to- my goal was 12, and at a 13-15 minute pace, my run time would be 3 hours. By 6:30 this Cinderella turns into a pumpkin- I mean-mommy and has to get hubby and kiddos out the door. Like last night, I was indifferent, the run was like work you had to do- it felt weird. Headphones- check I pod- check Snacks- check Camelback- Check I was mildly intrigued by this last piece of gear, it was new- and new means fun- right? So off we go- Out the door, the warm-up walk begins- WHAT'S THAT SOUND??!!

Soon all you hear is a gurgle of a sound that says bad things are coming- That is what my camelback had in mind as entertainment and conversation today- Oh no, no, no- that is not going to work, That- glug, glug, glug, glug, glug, with every step would NOT acc...

You paralyze yourself thinking about wh...

My friend Erica posted on Facebook last night that there would be a new Body Combat class starting in the morning at 5:30 AM –  I got excited- Time change makes it easy to get back into the early morning exercise routine With my hubby out of town a group class would make it fun- -While she posted ‘Body Combat’   I read -‘Body Pump’  Body Pump uses weights, and I’ve done it quite a bit –  I was excited to go But when I got to class, nobody was setting up –  There were no benches  No bars  Just a bunch of women standing around  I thought “these poor girls they don’t know what to do” And I started to grab some weights –  Erica said “Hey Heather, this is Combat...” And then it hit me  COMBAT— Yeah... Combat was  One of the first classes I took five years ago  when I decided to take charge of my healt That  really bad class that made me cry The class that made me say I can’t  ...
