Cryin' like a baby

First session with Drill Instructor (should that be Storm Trooper?) Burton. He stuffed me up six-love.

Thankfully, Virgin Active Randburg isn't too busy at 7 in the morning, so there were less people to see me being reduced to human rubble.

I'd type more but it hurts too much.

Well done, you!! It may hurt, but I bet you feel really good about yourself. Keep it up! You'd better be nimble enough to fit in my diddy little sports car next year! Gary keeps teasing me cos I'm barely fitting in myself!

We must be psychically (is that a proper word?) connected, cos I went and joined our local gym on Saturday. Only for the fitness classes though. Yoga, Kick boxing and Spinning. I'll be back....

Thanks, sis! I shall give you a blow-by-blow breakdown next time we speak :) Good luck with your ventures as well...

As for that sports car, at 1.87m most sports cars are off-limits for me. I've tried a Mazda MX-5 and my leg gets stuck between the steering wheel and door, and an Alpha Spider wasn't much better. Much like my physique, I'm a luxury sedan kinda dude ;)

Don't let your height stop you. I'll gladly be your chauffeur.

It's hard to look sexy and manly in a sports car if your missus is driving you around :P

Well I manage it...

See, Ben manages it!

Yes m'dear, but we don't know what Ben looks like. Personally, I need all the help I can get :)

Uh, best come clean: yes, I need all the help I can get too. I just tell myself that I look really sexy and manly when my wife drives me around... in our battered Saab 9000.

:-D

I'm going out with you. How much more help could one man possibly need?
