"My Girl"

I'm his girl ... and no, I don't mean Tod's. I mean my trainer's! :-) Aww! That's how he referred to me at the gym yesterday when a few guys gasped at the 1 hand on the floor-1 hand on a ball push ups he had me doing. This after he had me running on a 5 and then 8-incline on the treadmill the last 5-7 minutes of my 30-minute 2 incline run and told me "no one does this, no one runs on 8 (I guess of his girl trainees, at least), only you."

He had told me before he looks forward to Wednesdays and Fridays at 11 AM because that's when I come in but I didn't know he thought so highly of me. At the very end of my workout, he was having me do abs and on the last set, my body was just D-O-N-E, done. My muscles were so fatigued, I could hardly bring up my legs as he was having me do but I still did all my reps, slowly (I had to will myself on each and every one after # 3) but I did them. When I was done, he said "I love working out with you because that's when everybody gives up but not you, Nari*, not you. I love it!"

Proud moment for me and I love him for it! He's just awesome, super tough but super encouraging, and best of all, he loves Tod too who trains with him at 6 AM and the boys whom he never fails to ask about.

Love, love, love this guy and highly recommend him to anyone!

* That's what he calls me, which I think is so cute! It was my nickname in high school, actually.)
