Yes, it’s hit it hard for Hannon month and the fun and work continues in John's honor.  The weather has been beautiful and we have been hitting it hard outdoors in the Fitness Fun Group Classes.  If you weren't there and have been wondering what you are missing.....there has been basketball drills a plenty....

I was in line at the gas station getting my daily coffee (black with sugar free syrup) when I started looking around at what people were buying for breakfast. First off I looked to my left and noticed a shelf consisting of Twinkies, cupcakes, coffee cakes, and Krispy Kreams ... nothing healthy and nothing worth eating. The store puts these wonderful delights in that particular spot to catch you at your worst moment, boredom.

You've expanded my vacation to-do list, YES! The winner was selected by Random.org. To celebrate Spring break, I posted last week about teaching home school with your kids and my friend Mindy Evans from Stampin Up donated this picture frame for a fun raffle.

We thoroughly enjoyed the great weather on Friday starting our new season of TRX workouts after the long, cold winter. Ok, not cold compared to New England or the midwest but cold for us. Anyway, we had a great start and will continue ramping up and varying the workout routine as we get stronger. This is a great time for beginners to try it out because we're all moving a little slower and the circuits are shorter. The routine has a great variety of exercises with and without the TRX Suspension Trainer. SOme are only with your body weight, some use a medicine ball.

Ran with my friend yesterday morning (the knee is much better-didn't know I even had an issue with it during the run). She did 5 CrossFit workouts this past week and is very sore. CrossFit is great, but if you want to do your best, no more than 3 times a week if you are a seasoned athlete-you need your body to recoup from all that hard work. For those sporadic exercisers, start with one class a week and add other activities the rest of the week to see how you feel. Listen to your body!

So today I spent all day doing business related stuff. I got my business name notarized and sent out. I have my EIN all set. I just need to get the Chamber of Commerce their money and I will be all set on that end. I also setup all my administrative stuff. I am glad I have a Mac. It just makes everything so much easier to track, such as my clients, their workouts, and data. Also, got my first personal client not related to MWR. It is nice being out on my own.In other news, I am working out this 3 days this week.

I'm sitting here reading IDEA's Facebook page as I continue glancing outside to see if my trees have stopped blowing and if the rain has stopped it's steady stream because I really want to go for my hill hike. This is really ironic considering I grew up in Chicago: a bit different than Northern California!
