Day 6: Walk the talk

I love catching up with the girls - "STARS" as we call ourselves (cool acronym made from all our initials). We kinda met and bonded over the summer of 2008 over a common interest of fun, themed parties and jello shots and have all remained very close ever since. Five very different personalities but we ALL love food and our hangouts often cause some serious damage to our waistlines (sometimes our livers)... if we aren't eating, we are talking about food!

A group workout was something we always talked about and added to the "to-do in the summer list" but always postponed for another day. This Sunday was different. We were determined to make it happen. However the weather didn't match our level of enthusiasm, the sun had actually decided to take a day off but we had back-up plans up our sleeves. Plan B: a swim in the local pool but surprise surprise I couldn't find my togs! Our spirit was unshaken. Plan C: Zumba at home but the technical equipment did not cooperate. Plan D: same as Plan A but in another location. Calories will be burnt, come what may, was the motto. We returned to the Rotary Walkway that I had really enjoyed on Friday and walked through a part of it and also took a little detour to admire the mansions in one of the most expensive streets in Farmcove. The weather wasn't great, in fact it rained as we were making our way to the car but that just added to the fun - running in the rain! One of the purest and simplest joys of life!

So this was a fun activity! We not only caught up on all the goss and talked about things girls usually talk about, but also "carpe diemed" a semi-gloomy day and walked the talk! All the binge eating that continued after the running is another story and can be carefully omitted to maintain the feel good factor of the day ;).
