This morning when I got to boxing, Julia was waiting for me with a camera. I was quite surprised to say the least. She is putting together a boot camp for women over 50 and she wanted to use my picture on the ads. No I'm not over 50 but since I'm close and she doesn't have many women in my age group or over she was looking for models. This was so funny to me but I agreed to be photographed. All during class I was followed around with a camera. The good thing was I smiled a lot more than I usually do and the smiling would make me laugh. So the pictures will at least look happy even if at some times I felt like crying.
All in all boxing is going great. Since I'm still nursing my knee I have to take it easy with some of the activities. But I'm having a ball. Today was good. The boxing is getting better but I keep forgetting to get my hands up to guard my face.
Now I did say I was nursing my knee so this next part is not going to make sense to you. I trudged 3.5 miles with about half of it being rolling hills (half hills) with the running group on Saturday. That went about as well as it could. I wore the knee brace so my knee was OK during the run. There was a little swelling on Sunday but I iced it and that helped a lot. So far the group of ladies in my group is up to 4. One didn't come back last week but I got 2 more so I'm still up. They are so excited to be out there. It's nice to see and it helps me to keep moving while I help them.
The next 2 weeks I'll be out of town for the long runs so I will have to trudge by myself. I'm not looking forward to that but the distance isn't that far.

I am finally up to speed with the Lone Trudger...at least I've read the whole blog! I watched the boxing video and I get it! I totally understand why you are hooked! So instead of saying, "keep your chin up", I shall say "keep your chin down"!
