Writer's Workshop Days 5,6,7,8

Days 5, 6, 7, 8

So my sister was on vacation last week, and that meant jazzercise by myself. You know, it wasn't that bad. Yes, I had a couple embarrassing moments - but I'm proud of myself for going solo. Two things I learned by going alone: 1. it's okay to mess up and not laugh about it with someone. Alyssa laughed with the fact that I was off, but without her, no one is paying any attention to me, and 2. don't stand next to the guy with long hair. He will run you over during a few moves!

Late Friday afternoon, I was heading to my gym. I stayed late after school (late for a Friday - 4:45), and was actually looking forward to a trip on the elliptical to work off some school stress. At the gym, I park my car, walk in, and know immediately that something is off... the power! The people behind the desk tell me that I can work out if I want, but there's a good chance they'll be closing shortly. I run to the elliptical, start my workout. Four minutes later, they come around and tell everyone they are closing down until the power comes back.

I could have gone home, because technically I did exercise for the day (all 4 minutes). But, that's not what I wanted. I actually wanted to work out. Weird, huh? So, after exchanging a few text messages with my husband, who reminded me that I could visit another gym location, I went on my way to an alternate gym. I even drove right by house, and kept on driving. I was going to get that workout in no matter what. It was a proud moment for me.
