And the Legs Have It!

It's amazing how much you use your leg muscles. Every movement involves the legs in some way...well, almost every movement. And after the workout Anthony put me through yesterday, my legs are SORE.

Yesterday, after the gym, I went to the library. There are stairs leading up to the entrance to the library. Stairs were my enemy last night. Going up was okay. Going down...not so much. Later, I went to UNLV to see The Nutcracker ballet. There were stairs leading up to the theater entrance. Holy COW. One step at a time with a deathgrip on the railing - only way I made it down without falling on my face! Sheesh.

All in all, it was a tough workout, and I nailed it. I worked hard, and I kicked butt. :o) Anthony is an awesome encourager and teacher.

I love the place I'm in. There's a determination and an eagerness in going forward that's never been in me before. Today, I thought about the future a bit. The next time I go to Morocco, I'll be able to play futbol with the kids. I'll be able to get down in the dirt and have fun, with ease. I'll be able to run. And I'll be a walking testimony to health and vibrancy and life-change.

Until next time.... MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
