I read there was an event this Saturday called "an aerobic triathlon" at our community "Sports Com." I approached Nate to see if he would want to join me in this interesting endeavor. He was all for it. So we lined up childcare Saturday morning and were off. 2 1/2 hours of working out - 45mts aerobics, 45 mts weight training, 45mts of yoga. Sounded like a good time to me...
When we pull up to a packed parking lot Nate commented under his breath "I hope I'm not the only man." I hadn't thought about that??? Well, bless his manly heart he was! But he was a trooper! A packed room full of middle aged women already sweating to the teacher's instructions over the loud speaker, we walked in late - for all to watch! Once we got warmed up in our place on the back row I realized this was going to be a long morning! But it was a lot of fun. I was so proud of Nate for trying something new - step aerobics really isn't his fortet but he was a good sport. I almost died during the weight training (as Nate lifted the heaviest weights in the room and I held tight to my 3 and 5 pound bars!). But the yoga was my thing - loved it! It was funny watching Nate hold the awkward poses - bless him! =)
All in all it was a nice long break from the kids and some quality time doing something fun with my husband. The best part was when it was over and we pigged out at Wing Stop on fried food! No better way to finish up an aerobic triathlon!

My FAVORITE thing about Nate is that he would TOTALLY say yes to that and only later think...I hope I am not the only man. Tell him my esteem for him just increased. He is da bomb.
Brave.....very, very brave.
