After elections decompression

I'm not political. I don't really follow politics like some friends I know, yet I know I should. But this election and the propositons this time really made me want to follow them, this time.

So the elections are over. Now what? Life goes back to normal. But do you feel that? That feeling of hope, positive changes and the hopeful feeling of economic recovery in the air? Like Obama says, it won't be easy. I like that. He's truthful with us. He's not sugar-coating it because we need to hear the truth. We CAN handle the truth.

Monday's test-in was with Eric. Why not Hope's class? Because. Just Because. I'm tired of having to baby the periformus so I'm not. It may be stupid, I may suffer for it, but oh well. I'll deal with it until I can't.

At first I thought Monday's test-in was easy. Run, 150 quats, 100 dips, lunges the length of the tennis courts and back. Yeah I need to choose my words more carefully. If it were "easy", I wouldn't have been sore Tuesday, looking for any non-bootcamper to pick up stuff I dropped. And by Weds, I still shouldn't have felt like I needed a wheelchair. Nope. Easy wasn't the right word. "Easily doable" is more correct.

And if yesterday's workout was easy, I should have been able to sustain a run up Baldwin. And I should have been the first one back. Nope. Not "Easy" but "easily doable." Big Difference! Yup. That's it.

BTW my legs are still sore. Love it!

YES WE DID

I woke up this morning knowing we have contributed to a HUGE part of our history. A HUGE change in our government. We have elected the first black US president.

But we as Californian can't accept two people of the same sex to get married?!? As of this morning, some are saying it's too close to call. I'm still holding out that Prop 8 will fail. I will be hopeful and positive that it WILL fail.

Now is the time for us to move forward.
