Gotta Share My Moment Too!

I have been a member of the YMCA for several years now. About 2 years ago, I was teaching a mommy and me class there on a regular basis. I finally had to give that up because my physical weight limitations... ...well to make a long story short, I've been doing my marathon training on the treadmil at the Y. Every monday a group of the mom's that used to be in my class come in and I wave hi. I've been getting a very cool response from them, but I just figured they're focused on the workouts or whatever. Well yesterday, I got a happy wave from one of them. Later she came over to me (I was on my 4th mile on the treadmill). She said, "You know, we were talking...are you the same person that used to teach wonderkids?" I was blown away,they didn't even recognize me. She went as far as to tell me I was an inspiration to her since she is just getting back to working out. After that, each of the 5 mom's took the time to come up and say hi and to offer a kind word about my progress. I felt really good (especially because I was able to keep up the converstion while running). Boy how things can change! An 8 mile run, and kudos in the same day! Rachel

What a GREAT day! You are awesome girl! Ronda

That is Awesome!!! I have had a few people that I have known for YEARS double take. It is so funny! I had a friend tell me that until I spoke she did not know it was me! I just got back to the gym today after this last surgery and I really feel great!!! I needed it! You go with the 8 miles!!! I don't think I am up to that speed yet!
