Oh, it is so very hard to wake up zippy on the 4th morning. But, there are such good selections on the morning schedule that it's worth the effort to get my self up and out of bed. As a kick-start, I will take a step class this morning that should completely pep me up. It's a better plan than joining those long lines of people who have to have their morning coffee. read more >>

Sea, sand and a face full of salt water—what class do you think I took this morning? Did you guess kayaking? I had signed up in advance for one of the Adventure Experience courses, and it was completely worth the effort. My kayak partner Julie was very strong so we were very into the paddling. We even got to go inside a cave at La Jolla Cove that was guarded by a very vociferous sea lion. We even stayed fairly dry until the very end, when we got turned sideways by a wave and knocked over.   read more >>

Great Balls of Fire! Can you tell I took two ball classes in a row? I had better be buff! You know, it’s not so hard to get up for a 7:00 am class when it’s “Laugh your abs off.” Tim Wilkins and Mike Morris were having what I can only call a ‘Joke-Off,’ while Stephanie Morris kept trying to stay on task while flashing her beautiful smile. I was laughing so hard that I fell off the ball. read more >>

Not sweaty anymore. Now I'm hungry. I saw lots of interesting snack samples at the expo, but I was so intrigued by the various products and vendors that I just kept wandering about. Tomorrow I'm going to try an interactive video sports game - the wave of the future for the kids of today I think. My kids probably know all about it, so I'm probably lucky they aren't here with me this year as they'd beat me in a second, then pretend not to know me because I am sooooo embarrassing. Can you tell I have at least one teenager?   read more >>

Picture me sweaty. Actually, never mind. So far this morning, after waking up promptly at 6:00 AM(yay), I’ve gone to two workouts and the welcome/awards ceremony. My first class was “Pumping Nothing.” I thought it was going to be about my attempts at indoor cycling (I just needed a bike and bell to complete the picture, according to my teaching colleague), but it was actually a workout ‘sans’ equipment. So, instead of pumping my “air” bike, I pumped my own body weight.   read more >>
