“What’s Your Next Challenge?” by Kari Crowell, Gold’s Gym Member

Q. “When was the last time you did something for the first time?”

For Me- obviously training for this race. It’s been a challenge for sure, pushing me farther than I’ve ever gone before. It’s already shown how hard it is to stay focused, but, with so many rewards thus far, how could I possibly stop now? Besides, I’m just getting started. The biggest reward was last week, watching our daughter learn how to ride her bike with her dad. Her motivation was “I want to ride like the other kids and with you guys! AND these training wheels are noisy!” She was so determined to ride on her own that night and she did! We were of course so happy and proud of her.

“Starting Back After Surgery” by Kari Crowell, Gold’s Gym Member

Congratulations to all of the Challenge winners, their families and everyone that participated. GO TEAM WENATCHEE!

I was able to get back in the gym this week, YEAH! With the Dr.’s advice, “go at your own pace, and listen to the pain.” My first day back was like a reunion of friends, it was nice to feel missed and great to see everyone and catch up! With my two new awesome work-out friends Teresa & Connie, we quickly got to working out. Oddly, lifting felt foreign to me and I had to rely on them to take me thru the work-out. Is it normal to feel like a beginner after such a short time away? I’m trying to be patient and let the effort come naturally, not to judge my progress so soon. I’d like to say “waiting without worrying is my new definition of having patience” but I still have some work to do on it.

“Spin” by Melissa Schwab, Gold’s Gym Challenge Particpant

I love spin class! I remember the first time someone suggested that I try a spin class. I laughed and said that I HATED to ride bikes. My husband and I were just laughing about a time when we were first married and we decided to go for a bike ride. Let’s just say it ended with me on the side of the road with my bike and telling my husband to go back and get the truck because I wasn’t going any further. I hadn’t been on a bike since then. So I reluctantly went to the spin class and now it’s one of my favorites. There is a great energy to the class and it makes the time go so quickly. It’s all about the music, finding the beat of the music, sprinting, and climbing mountains. The instructor talks you through the workout giving gear changes and RPM goals. There was a new release last week that definitely gets your heart pumpin’. My only problem with the class is when I’m too late to get a bike. I happen to attend a lot of Bethany’s classes. She’s a rockstar. She talks you through the entire workout, and somehow still remembers everyone’s name. So come join me for a spin! Be sure to save me a bike….
