Another one?

I'm on the eve of my very first, solo class teaching BodyPump....tomorrow it's SHOWTIME!! I am surprisingly not nervous, not right now anyway. I am confident that I know the choreography, I know I will have a good turnout, I know I am so excited about this maiden voyage. It's kind of odd that I am not having a freak out moment. I know that my iPhone will work with the stereo for my playlist. I know how I sound with the mic. Thank goodness I had this past weekend to team teach and get familiar with it all ahead of time.

Last night I went to San Mateo to be in Kristin's class because she was taping her video for BP75. I wanted to support her, plus check out that SuperSport gym since I can sub there, and also see what video taping entailed since I will have to do that myself in the next 2 months.

Her husband Tony did the video taping, and I was amazed at how nervous I was for her. She did really well, but what really irritated me was that people knew she was taping an assessment video, yet the majority of them had cleaned up and left before abs were done! Makes me want to just hold a mock class of 5-10 people and have more control over the whole situation.

My regular BP friends went to the Tuesday class in San Carlos and afterward, went to Justin the club manager and requested a Sunday class, taught by me. He sent the General Manager a text right then and there and told them to check in with him on Thursday. I was so touched that they did that, totally unsolicited by me. Well, today I received an email from the manager asking if I were available to teach a BP class on Sundays at 11:15!! I didn't expect something to transpire so soon! Now I am waiting to find out when it would start. Of course I said I was available starting this Sunday, even though it's my 19th wedding anniversary.......it's only an hour and it's early in the day.

Now my challenge moving forward is finding time and scheduling my own training. I have a 1/2 marathon I've committed to in early April. I need to start running again, and also getting in more yoga for flexibility. I need to look at my calendar, schedule in my own workouts and my classes. I have been so focused on BP for the last month that my cardio training has suffered. It's a little daunting to think that my classes are NOT part of my own workouts, my own training. I need to have a rest day or two, so I just need to take some time to think and plan it out.

I feel fortunate to have my health. So many people are posting on FB about friends that are ill, have passed, or are recovering. I am so thankful, even though I am fighting off something and living on Emergen-C, that I am essentially healthy, strong and somewhat fit.  So many are not that lucky.

I am thankful to be celebrating 27 years with the man I love. 27 years of being together. He supports me and is proud of me and is beginning his own journey as well. I am very proud of him right now. We celebrate our 19th wedding anniversary this Sunday. My kids are beautiful and healthy. I have loving, supportive friends and family.

I am blessed.
