Exercise

There are a lot of exercise/fitness classes on base, so I took advantage and went to Zumba this week.  It reminds me a lot of the aerobics dance class that I took last fall at BYU, except the music is considerably different.  Still, there's quite a bit of bouncing and waving of arms, as well as shaking, bending, and a whole ton of uncoordinated-ness.  But I think it is so fun.

Paul and I went to our first tennis class yesterday.  I've really learned to love tennis, and I think I'm actually doing pretty good!  It's such a fun sport, and it was nice to play with new people.  Also, I don't know why we didn't just go on base to find decent courts.  duh.

And I'm still going to the gym quite frequently to run.  Lately I've been wanting something to train for though because it's easier to follow a training schedule.  I ran the most consistently when I was training for Ragnar last year, and would love to train for something like that again.  I also wish it was cooler than 80 at night so I could run outside.

I want to lift weights when I go to the gym, but the buff Air Force guys intimidate me and I would feel silly lifting my 5-10 lbs weights next to them.  And I've never really figured out the weight machines.  Maybe I should just go buy some dumbbells (why are they called that?).

Exercise feels good.
