Dear Cathe, Ladies and Gents,
I was lucky enough today to join my lovely wife and her dear friends on a tri-stater trip to Cathe's gym. I am also very lucky to be ALIVE!!!! I apologize to any and all that I may have hurt in the past by saying ridiculous things like
"I can do that"!!!! Just for the record " NO I CAN'T"!!!!
I have teased Ellie endlessly about wearing the word Pause off of all of our remotes. Today, as the picture will show, I learned that there is NO PAUSING Cathe!!!! That tiny, little dynamo could seriously hurt me.... and she did.
Now being a man of honor and not wanting to show my weakness, I will admit that at first I found the class quite enjoyable (the first 5 min.) Ellie warned me to pace myself because we still had 55 min to go. Did I listen??? NO, I am a MAN. We don't listen. Especially to our wives. Am I very,very very sorry for not heading that advice???? You BETCHA!!!
At the 20 min mark I was purple, sweating profusely and searching for the nearest trashcan to hurl in. But it was also at around that point that I became delirious and continued on. I am a MAN!!!!.
Seeing Jerry and Dianna and Bud and Ellie tearing around that place was just about as humiliating as i thought it could get!!! Until the senior citizen class started coming in and had to hold the door for me. NOT JOKING!!!!
A few of cathe's people who I was introduced to now know me as the PURPLE GUY!!! seriously, i was purple. Ellie was kind enough to drive the car home where I promptly threw myself on the couch and have not moved since.
I have attached a picture for your enjoyment.
YES, she is holding me at gunpoint as I write this and I will be apologizing FOREVER but I am unable to move any other muscles except those in my fingers. I MUST obey her commands. Until I am strong enough to stand on my own 2 feet again. SOMEDAY!!!!
I bow to ALL who are able to complete any Cathe routine. And go right ahead and pause anytime you want. If I learned anything today it is that breathing is essential!!!!
