Day ??? : I'm not numbering posts anymore.

How quickly I abandoned this blog... it wasn't because I lost interest in the Fillies, it was because I got SO BUSY with them (and my "day job") that I didn't even remember I had this blog. Then a few ladies from my team started blogs and I then remembered that I had this and that is where we are right now.

I am officially a Filly now. And I have my hat in the ring to be on the board of directors, since the Fillies have been set up as a 501(C)3 (that's means we're a non-profit, which makes it easier for our sponsors to donate money). I have also ramped up my workouts quite a bit.

Aside from the 2 nights a week of practice (that alone can kill me... I have yet to actually make it to the second night of practice in a week, because the first night has rendered me useless). I started taking Bikram Yoga classes, which has helped me work on my flexibility, strength, and focus. It also literally melts off the pounds, as 90 minutes of intense exercise in a 105-degree room tends to do. My girlfriend finally got her way and I started taking water aerobics with her, which, while not as intense as my other workouts, helps loosen everything up and gets the blood pumping. Soon, we will start our salsa lessons (footwork) and I am still considering doing the kettlebell thing... I just don't have the time!

I'm having a riot on the new team... getting to know a whole group of new people is always exciting for me. There are some tough-ass girls there, and I'm getting pummeled. I'm pretty sure I might have fractured my thumb, and yes I will go to the doctor before next practice. Mostly, I'm just excited all of the time.

Well, I have to get back to work on getting the Fillies web site up. So, more later... if I write more, someone will inevitably say, "yeah, but what about the web site?"

Workout achievements: Finishing a Bikram yoga class, going to water aerobics, a 3-mile walk with the dog
