naive enthusiasm & kudos to Chris K!!

Yesterday morning, during a leisurely brunch with my in-laws, I somehow agreed to attend a Zumba class with my mother-in-law. She seemed quite excited about her new-found exercise program and was quick to recruit my sister-in-law and myself to attend with her this evening "just to try it out". What have I gotten myself into? Normally I am not into aerobics classes. For some reason, I agreed to participate. I guess I had one glass of cava too many. Oh....and my sister-in-law has since opted out.

I hope everyone had a great weekend - one full of good food, good friends, good running and a Superbowl victory in your favour! I want to give a shout-out to a blogger buddy who had a particularly stellar weekend: Chris K who qualified for Boston!

That's right...Boston! Chris has been a major source of running inspiration for me over the past several months. It's hard to believe one would have time to train for a Boston-qualifying marathon, when you spend all your time organizing fashion shows & swim suit calendars and having toga parties, but it can be done! :)

Now, go over to visit Chris at BQ or Die and congratulate him on his accomplishment!

  2. Woot to Chris. You have to tell us how the Zumba class goes. I've heard so many great things about it - this just may be another go-to activity for you. It's worth trying anyway.
