S Newbie

Today I am nervous and edgy and basically like a kid on her way to her first day of college because today I am starting my new gym class. I have decided after much pressure from a friend to take S classes. Although it is totally out of my comfort zone I have taken a beginners intro class and really liked it. So in the essence of standing on a cliff and jumping here I am. The most difficult thing with any class is getting to know the basics. This is like a yoga cross dance class and although I am not the most athletic or even flexible person I know I am pretty confident that eventually I will be able to manage. That was the thought at least going into the class. Now that it is 3 hours after I am in so much pain that I am not so sure what the HELL I was thinking. At least I was not as awkward as I thought I would be and I was in a class of other beginners so at least we were all at the bottom together. So today I just got to get used to the movement, the instructions of the teacher and I tried to relax into the poses although they felt really strange and not quite natural at times. Practice makes perfect and if one day I can spread my legs apart on the ground in a v shape and touch my head and stomach to the ground like the instructor I will take that as one of the best days of my life. Excuse me while I go con my fiancée into making me a big chocolate shake to ease my pain.
