Keepin' On!

Despite the myriad of troubles in my house, I'm trying to keep up with the exercise. In fact, the exercise keeps me from trying to kill people. I'm a little on edge right now--trying to get a grant done, run a business, grade papers, and keep my house from falling apart ($500 at a time. . .). But who's life isn't crazy? Isn't that what this is all about? Making exercise a regular part of our day so we can stay healthy and sane?

Anyway, Lori and I went to play tennis last night. It's been a while for her, but I was trying to run my butt off chasing her errant balls to get the ultimate exercise. Sadly, my body makes some crazy noises when I run--I guess a few more Pilates-type exercises (say one million or so) will firm me up enough to run silently!

Hope all is well with everyone else. If you've got stories or experiences to share, fell free to post them here!

And it's on!

So, I've heard from several folks (even a MAN!) about who's in. Here's the list so far--if you're supposed to be on it, but aren't, let me know! We've got Nikki, Jennifer (?), Karen, Mark (Karen's man), Dawn, Beth, Amie and me. I'm hoping to exercise the most and take all the money, but I'd be just as happy if we all got to keep our money (and lose whatever parts of us we want to lose).

Anyway, I'm walking with Dawn tonight (after the plumbers replace a million dollars worth of pipes under the house and the heater guy finishes my heater--just in time for the 30 degree weather). That's a good half hour. And there's tennis with Beth on Wednesday, and my friend Lori on Tuesday (if it's not raining). And then the sex . . . ;)

Catch me if you can!
