Circuit, or lack thereof
"A closed path followed or capable of being followed by an electric current."
Monday was Circuit. I do enjoy circuit, but it wasn't meant to be for me this time. My family set out together for a nice evening of exercise. We dropped Elijah off at piano and headed to Runtex. Joshua rode his bike with me for the warm-up from Runtex. David was going to get Elijah from piano and meet us at the track. Elijah and Joshua would bike with me for my cool down. It was going to be fun-family-exercise-time.
Kathie and Yvette ran with us from Runtex. We lamented about the heat. My legs were a bit tired from my Saturday bike ride, so it wasn't my most favorite warm-up run.
What's ironic about this story is that I was really looking forward to class. I was excited to come to running class, and I told David about it on the drive there. Gazelles class is an important part of my life - our life. We both enjoy it so much, and its benefits are many. It's an activity we can share together and as a family. It's a joint hobby/interest to talk about and discuss. The family that exercises together, stays together and all that jazz. Blah, blah, blah.
We arrive at the track and stand in the shade across the street. We finally decide to join the group which has begun the drills. Gilbert arrives and immediately asks me where my car is, where is David's car, do I have a way home, etc. I finally gather that our van won't start. David went on foot to get Elijah from piano. There will be no circuit for me, it seems.
Gayatri kindly takes me and Joshua to Runtex to find David. She patiently waits while we try to jump the van (Gilbert and David had tried earlier with no luck). Some Gazelles who had finished their run assist David with the battery and debate over what the problem could be (which highly amused Gayatri). Gayatri takes me and the boys back to the track.
We arrive when the group is doing the core work. We run a lap and do a half-hearted circuit. We join in on the last plank. It's all a big bust for me. Gayatri runs a few laps, while I entertain my kids and procure a ride home. We have Joshua's bike to load in Gayatri's car, and we are headed back to Runtex.
There we find David and a dead battery. Yvette kindly takes us home. David does the manly thing and goes for a new battery. I do the womanly thing and make dinner. Our awesome neighbors watch our kids at 9:30pm at night so we can go try out the new battery. David is a mechanical genius. ;-)
Today I hope to finish my ciruit workout. Albeit, it will be alone (er...with kids!) and around our block. Summertime calls though, and we are pool bound.
