G’morning, RBF

Off to the college today for a lab day for my students taking the course I teach by a correspondence program. Packing my shoes and looking forward to a nice river valley run/walk after the day is done.

Went to the gym last night with a friend, and it was PACKED with high school students on spring break. I felt soooo old! I think it’s great that all of these people were out moving their bodies instead of standing outside of 7-11 trying to look good … I just couldn’t believe the numbers! They even had the music catered to this age group, and my friend and I felt exceptionally old while we tried to play “name that tune” and failed miserably. I don’t think we stretched very well last night though, because I’m feeling it in my shoulders and hamstrings this morning. I’ve said it before, I’m not a very conscientious stretcher unless someone is leading me, ie. in a class. I need to get better at that. I’m not feeling it in the worst of ways, but I think I may be doing “stretch breaks” with my students today just for my own personal benefit! :)

Have a fantastic (dare-I-say-spring-like?) run today!

Gotta say I don’t miss the students in my old gym that used to pile in about a week before spring break, trying to lose that “freshman 10″ before they leave. Its doesn’t work that way, but if they just stuck to it, they would have no worries come next break.

A gym full of high school students. On spring break. I can almost feel the hormones from here. I can’t follow today’s music either. Well, mostly. I know one or two songs on the radio.

And I need to try to stretch more too. Thanks for the reminder.

Could have been worse, you could have gone to the mall!

I’ve learned the hard way about stretching. Now, it’s part of my routine–and I think (hope) it’s helping.
