September Round-up

Well, September has come and gone and M, M & I still can’t get the Latin rhythm and movement but for an exercise class such as Zumba it really doesn’t matter. For example, one day our regular instructor wasn’t able to make the class (more on that to follow) so a couple of the more advanced members of the class offered to lead it. For last minute substitutes they did great. They did remember the routines a bit differently at times so you could take your pick as to which one to follow. Even with two options M, M & I still had their difficulties. However, it really didn’t matter—as long as you keep moving you still get a good workout—and usually a good laugh.

For those who couldn’t make the September 25th Stroll Through History at Oak Hill Cemetery it was a successful and fun-filled day despite the weather. According to our inside sources the event may be back on the Montgomery County Historical Society calendar so you’ll have a second chance.

October has all kinds of national months associated with it. Two that bring joy to the BPL Fit Club are National Roller Skating Month and National Go on a Field Trip Month. How perfect can it get? Details on where we’ll be roller skating will be forth coming.

October is also National Breast Cancer Awareness month. This leads back to the September round up where the absence of our Thursday Zumba instructor was mentioned. She was back the following week with the news that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. She has started a blog, zumbagirl24.blogspot.com, which she views as very therapeutic and cathartic. Her story may be just what you need to get that mammogram you’ve been putting off…and off…and off.
