I'm Back, Or Exercise Thoughts

I spent the weekend in Williams Bay, WI, on the shores of Lake Geneva. I was a volunteer for my district's RYLA program, a leadership training initiative for high-school kids. The event was held at the Holiday Home Camp near George Williams College, and the leadership training was imparted by the Outdoor Wisconsin Leadership School. It was a fun time, although a bit tiring.

I went up Friday night, carpooling with another volunteer, and spent the day Saturday both observing kids and making various shopping runs. In past years, I would have been too pooped to pop come the evening Reality Store event, but thanks to my exercise program, even though I walked a good 2 miles, I was ready for action. I did sleep rather well that evening, and was a bit stiff the next day.

Yesterday, I was actively involved in moving one of our branch locations to a temporary site for construction. This involved a lot of crawling under desks and running up and down stairs, with a side of schlepping PCs around. Again, in previous years, I would have had to sit down at some point and rest. This year, I didn't have to - I did want to but it wasn't a requirement. Apparently this exercise stuff really helps! ;-)
