So I did it. I actually went to TaeKwonDo last night.

I had skipped Tuesday night because I was just too stressed about going into a group of people I didn’t know and looking stupid.

Last night I was on the phone with my brother and he told me to just go. He said that I would be glad I did and feel good about it, too.

He was right. It was a great workout and I felt really positive about the whole experience.

It wasn’t just the physical exertion. The women of the class were quick to welcome me in. They explained how to do things and came over to introduce themselves. They were really cool.

I actually had much more energy after the class and felt like I could run forever after it. (Hah!)

I got home and as I started to unwind, I could feel my mucles getting sore. This morning, when I woke up, ouchie! Not bad sore. Not so bad that I can’t move. Just sore enough to remind me of what I did last night.

It was such a good feeling. I can’t begin to tell you how great I felt after and into today.

I can go back this evening to make up for missing on Tuesday. I think I’ll do that just to help loosen my muscles up and feel better.

I’m looking forward to it.

Ummm…did I just say that? I’m looking forward to physical exertion?

Ack!
