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!
