Beginning Week 3!

Excuse for not going to the gym #7 ...I so could have played that card today. Ugh. Lucky for me, my good buddy, Lynn had enough cheery for both of us this morning cuz I was needing to get pulled back over from the dark side. We got to the gym just after 8:30, even young Linden looks tired today, a point that Lynn asked him about...a question not well recieved, I might add, I guess Linden's a little cranky too. In the locker room we run into the older lady who's always there, she's always so friendly. Lynn said have a great Monday...I think the lady did a growl. Oh no, not the nice lady too!!! What's going on???? That's okay, I won't let this "bad luck Schleprock" kinda feeling get to me! Lynn was being very much like we'd like our men to be...very kind and careful, knowing that on this particular day of the month, we're really all just one lucky break away from a murder conviction...she suggested that we just take it a little easier today, maybe even have a sauna instead of doing our core...I knew there was a reason I liked this gal! Anyway, we pushed through our workout, even the core routine. We both managed a minute in the plank 3 times. A victory that won't feel so sweet tomorrow, I'm sure. After we were done, we headed down to the sauna. We weren't sure what the protocol is for sauna-ing...I asked Linden what people do, are they naked, towels...he said whatever you like...helpful. I'm not overly modest, but never want to be the only one in my scivvys...I remember the camping trip about 20 years ago, I was the only female member of this party and we decided to set up one of the native sweat lodges out at Kootenay Plains, all of us but one of the guys were already in the sweat lodge, not naked, but apparently no one mention this to our buddy, J., after we'd been in a few minutes, he climbs in, completely buck naked takes a look around, says, "oh, I thought everyone was naked!" and scampers out again to find his boxers. Funny.
