Fitness Together - First Day

I started training today with Coach Jack Eyer and Donnie Warnock with Fitness Together at Patton Creek in Hoover, Alabama. They have started me on a great program to accelerate weight loss. Also, They are showing me what to do at home, and we'll be meeting every week to see how I progress. Coach Eyer recommends training three days a week at home and three days a week with a trainer. I'll be posting some videos of my training as soon as they get them to me.

What's great about Fitness Together is that you train one-to-one with a certified trainer, and there's no one else in their workout area while you work out. It's just you and the trainer.

 I'm so excited. They are laying out a complete fitness plan for me to follow. Now the ball's in my court, and I must consistently execute.

On to the next item: Wednesday afternoon I went over to the Trak Shak in Homewood, AL to help stuff swag bags for the Make-A-Wish 5k on Saturday. I will be a volunteer at Saturday's race. The volunteer's will be registering runners and performing other duties. Yes, I'll be posting pics of the race.

I didn't realize there was such a community of runners/walkers in Birmingham, and I think it's awesome they have the Trak Shak to meet up at. The Trak Shak sells shoes, clothing, and accessories for runners and walkers. Also, it is the hang out. The best part is: (drum roll please) they have free low carb light beer for runners and walkers. (Before you fuss, no, I didn't drink any beer. Honest.)

It was great to see a local independent business doing well in this economy.

I didn't know that runners consume a ton of beer. I was even told that at most marathons, they give out beer on the last drinking station of the course. Who knew?

The Make-A-Wish Dream Team will be meeting this Sunday for our first training run/walk. It's only thirty minutes, so it should be fun. And, again, the coach is going to provide water and beer. (wow) (I am easily impressed.)
