I think my Mom might be a little angry with me when she reads this. She’s already a bit angry with me right now. I usually go for a run and leave the Demondog with her. I figure since she is almost like another grandchild, my Mom would like to babysit.
So before I went to run tonight, I thought I mentioned that I was going to be a bit longer today. Esther mentioned that there were going to be two nice guys who were going to be giving a talk about stretching and injuries. I’m always up for learning as much as I can about the sport I love, so I was going to go.
I walked into the gym behind the store. Which is full of weights and big yoga balls and other exercise stuff. There was a nice guy named Damien, who was operating the video camera. And his partner in fitness, Eric.
They run an exercise business called Xelf. They are more than personal trainers. They are trying to get the message out there about exercise and how it impacts every aspect of our lives.
They are starting a new program (new for me anyway) called Get Fit to Run. It is an eight week supplement to running. It is designed to work with running as a lifestyle. Eric and Damien will teach runners all kinds of great stuff.
Like how to use a foam roller to eliminate trigger points. Eric says it is like giving yourself a massage everyday.
Hmmm, I think they can count me in. Just don’t tell my Mom just yet. Let me get flowers and chocolate and butter her up first.
