Dear Ben Cross (Letter 41)
Dear Ben,
I know this letter comes a bit soon, but I have exciting news (for me).
After 12 weeks at fitness bootcamp and exercising at home, I did my first sit up. I know this doesn't sound like a lot, but it's awesome to me. Previously I could only do crunches. Which is fine. When I tried to a sit up I flailed on my back like a rolly poly puppy. Seriously! Now I can do a real situp!! OMG, who knew!
I went to rapier practice today but didn't do any fighting. My knee is reminding me that it is damaged and letting me know that I should not have ran at the soft ball game last night. I find it a bit upsetting. I have discovered the joys of physical activity only to be struck down by a bum knee. I'm a bit frustrated. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow and he is sure to be annoyed with me. I am going to claim that it's his fault for telling me I need more exercise. Think he'll buy it? :)
But really, I am frustrated. Guess I'm just going to have to deal with it. But damn it I need my knee to work. Gah!
I also started a new activity today. I did my first ever heralding. I'm in the SCA and need something to do as I've been in it over a year and haven't participated. So I have decided that because I have paid for my membership I have to do something. My experience with Air Cadets when I was a teenager really helps and strangely so do singing lessons. My voice definitely carried across the hall we were in.
All of these new experiences!!
Have a good night Ben, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite :)
