Working out

I am back in training.  Not martial arts training--YET.  I've gotten in touch with a lady who used to teach at the dojang I earned my Cho Dan in.  She's a certified trainer/dance instructor, so I've started training with her.  I just had my third class and loved it.  Class number one was last Thursday.  I was so sore after that class, my biceps were screaming "We hate you!  When do we go again?"  The second go-round was on Saturday.  We went to the park where she ran me through a good walk and some exercises using nothing more than the park benches and a rail overlooking one of the lakes.  It was a good day.
I haven't seen her since Saturday.  I called her today and left her a message asking if we could reschedule.  She didn't get my message until she was already here, so I told her, "you're here, let's do it!"  
I haven't worked out so hard in an hour in I don't know HOW long! I was literally dripping with sweat! It's a good feeling!  I like feeling like this.  I can't remember how long it's been since I felt this good about a workout! I'm working out individually because I'm a competitive person and compare myself to other people all the time.  If I work out on my own, I lose steam.  I have someone who is holding me accountable and that's the important thing!  We set a schedule for working out that I think will help.  I'll work out three times a week.  I'm already looking forward to next week!
