jumping in with both feet

whoah, nellie!
i just did something today that i haven’t done in about 12 years. i done got me a fitness club membership at the local spot down the street!! craziness, i know! i’ve always said i wasn’t a clubby kind of person for a few reasons. #1. i don’t like the feeling of other people sizing me up when i’m trying to get in shape. #2. i love to be outside in the fresh air just taking in my surroundings.

well, i was planning on using the st. george marathon as a reason to get out and get in shape. BUT…my name didn’t get drawn in the lottery this year. first time that’s ever happened and a big bummer. and with jeff leaving for work so much earlier now, i didn’t want to be out running in the dark. so i needed to find another way to get my lazy tush in gear.

i’ve been toying with the idea of getting a membership for quite some time now, but never acted on it. enter a wonderful neighbor three doors down who has a membership, who gets up at 5ish to go before hubby goes to work, who totally wants a partner to motivate her, and who finally gave me the push i needed to jump in.

so…guess who’s getting up tomorrow at 5 am?
