Fitness Journal: Week 3

Even though I don’t think my workout gals read my blog I put off posting this just in case since a few ladies were out of town and hadn’t received the sad news yet. Last week my trainer informed me that he was shutting down the gym. He’s had serious medical issues for almost 6 months straight now and needs to take all his time and energy to focus on getting better, it’s that bad.  Please pray for Swan.

Our other trainer/coach has been leading all the workouts but Swan started it all. He was my first trainer, he brought a group of ladies together and made us into a team. We all LOVE going to his gym and were so so excited to try and help it grow and develop. He was doing really really cool things. But as hard as it is to get a business like that off the ground it’s even harder when your body is breaking down and fighting you ever step of the way. So I’m so sad. I hope to keep training with my other coaches (swimming and strength training) but we won’t have our own gym and the classes will probably be different and smaller, it’ll be hard to keep the team feel that was part of the magic that Swan gave us. But of course more than the selfish sadness I am mostly sad and worried about my trainer, my friend’s health.

On to more shallow news. I ate out a lot last week. I didn’t feel like cleaning the kitchen so there was no room to cook plus I was feeling stressed and anxious about this news and school stuff and other things. My ankle hurts, I can’t pin point any instance of hurting it but most of the time it feels like an old sprained ankle and everyonce in a while I get shooting pain so I didn’t work out as hard (like I walked instead of run, etc.)
