Between the novel writing in November and the general craziness of December, I've badly fallen out of my attempts at an exercise routine. Just made it through my most challenging video. (The embarrassingly named but still surprisingly fun "Crunch Fat Burning Dance Party". On one hand, it's totally lame, on the other, I actually have a really good time doing it.) Oh, my poor shaky legs. Yes, we are out of shape again. Sigh. More exercise needed, lest I stop fitting in pants.
And all kinds of unpleasant exercises are vastly preferable to the horror which is pants shopping.

A few months ago, I had a client dinner where the client demanded documents (at dinner!) that we had back in the office. I managed a full three-block sprint to the office and back, in heels no less, and managed to look composed enough handing the documents over that it elicited no comment. (Well, my coworkers commented later - they knew we didn't have the docs on hand, and were hella impressed.) Being able to do routine exercises means that my body's actually ready and willing when I actually need the performance. And I love that feeling.

Chuckro can lift more than me, but not that much more, and he's got the benefits of testosterone. And he can only outrun me for the first five feet or so - after that, he doesn't have a prayer of catching me. I like that I've got endurance. And I feel like the general fitness really helps with stuff like avoiding backaches and such as well.
