Workin' Out

I been wanting to join a gym and work out for awhile now. But I've just been too busy and I haven't really had a schedule I could commit to. Its really tough to work out here because its not like home, where I can just go for a run or something.

The streets are filled with potholes and cars everywhere. There are no sidewalks or anything. So that makes it tough. Plus its crazy hot here and I'd probably pass out if I went running during the day. But most of all I'd have to deal with the men on the street and it'd just be weird.

So a gym is kinda key. There is a little gym near my house that I been eyeing up, but haven't yet gone in. I have to admit I'm a little nervous, even though the women's area is seperate. But its so close to my house it'd be perfect if I actually set a schedule.

Last night I went with some friends to play rugby. Yeah, I was scared to death. I don't know the game, I'm not a land sport (eg anything that requires running) kinda girl and I'm out of shape. But I just paced myself and it was so much fun. I didn't do well or anything but I didn't die. That was my main goal, so I can proudly say I accomplished it. :D

Most of the time was just working out and then they played touch rugby. I just tried to stay in the right spot during the game, I didn't really focus on playing much. :p

But I really enjoyed it and I hope to go again. My body hurts and I like that, I feel alive and able when my muscles hurt. Its a good thing.
