can you crack a smile?... and other stuff

The hubbie and I worked out together tonight. We're bonding. It's nice. Really nice. I love him. He ran slower than I know he can, just to run alongside me tonight. He also made a mix of music for me that goes along with my 'couch potato to 5K' program. Yes, everyone, there is a program out there for you! This program trains you to be ready to run a 5K in about 9 weeks. The overall premise is to start slowly with a walk/run training regimine. So, the hubbie created a musical experience for me that tells me when to walk and when to run. Ah, the gift of being married to a computer geek. We are both going to run together in a race in June that supports ovarian cancer prevention/detection. It will be awesome! More details to come....

So 'can you crack a smile' girl trained us tonight on the nautilus system at the Y, because, yes, we are now card-carrying members of our local Y-M-C-A. We're learning the circuit so we don't break the equipment or our asses in the process of trying to exercise, and this girl/woman is a low-talker, a mumbler, and has about zero personality (or at least none that we saw). I want my trainer to be like Denise Austin- "You can do it!! I know this hurts right now, but think about how teeny tiny your bottom is going to get!! Yay!! Great job!!! There was none of that with 'can you crack a smile' girl. She seemed genuinely disinterested in our experience, health, or anything for that matter. I think I'm going to make it my mission to get her to crack a smile.
