Today I witnessed another inspiring workout from the early morning runner today. Instead of lifting her arms up around her head as she jogged, she was walking briskly (with a partner this time,) and swinging her arms straight in front of her and up above her head one by one, making her look like a kindergarten teacher impersonating a crocodile. Again, this lady never fails to make my morning.
As I drove around the corner just up from my house, a Bulldozer crashed through the fence of the house on the left. It gave me a bit of heart attack, made me think I was hallucinating, and then I began to wonder what kind of maniacs lived there. After a while, I remembered that this house was empty and set for major renovations/demolition, beginning I suppose with the back fence. If I ever need to wake up a little more before class, I'll have to remember this technique.
In our class, we have what we call "animal Thursday," and so it was very fitting that the animal theme that began with the crocodile lady this morning, continued as I made my way down the highway. A Vet that I pass every morning had put up a new sign, playing on that oh so popular car trip game; (that has earned me many a bruise over the years) spotto. And what animal did they choose to embody this game? That's right; a Dalmatian. I'm not exactly sure of what the sign was supposed to achieve, but I am seriously enjoying this recent trend of Vets and their pun based advertisements.
On the way to class, the left hand lane of traffic was moving very slowly, and as it came my turn to pass the obstructing vehicle, I discovered a tiny 1920s one seater car with it's driver fully dressed in a suit and bow tie. Due to the animal theme of the morning, I had trouble seeing him as anything but a penguin. I really want to know where he was going dressed like that at 8 in the morning, but I guess it doesn't matter; I'm just really glad that he was on the road, as it made me smile. A lot.
As much as I enjoyed observing the animals today, I didn't so much enjoy feeling like one as I sweated my way through the days classes, especially when we had to roll all over each other to finish a dance. I do not enjoy physical contact, and so this was a very interesting and character building experience for me, but I really hope that I don't have to repeat it any time soon.
