BODYSTEP & Driving

My new addiction: BODYSTEP.I just have completed the BODYSTEP module training. LOve the program, enjoyed the training and it was good to see my trainee colleague Bas do his presentations during the module.Again following a moduel training it made me very much aware how participants feel during the training and right before their track presentations. The track I had to present was track 6, one of the peak tracks, "shut up and drive". Well for me this week was all about cars, but not all abou driving. Tuesday on my way back home from the gym I probablt got a speeding ticket. I was listening to my step track, going thru the scripting etc in the car and all of a sudden I saw the flash.... SHOOT. man, I know where this machine is, but because I was so busy with my choreo/scripting for my Shut of a drive track I forgot to take my foot of the gass pedal. Well I guess I should have shut up and jsut drive. But anyway.Friday evening I got home a parked my car, again the music was on, so I didn;t notice the reminder that I left my lights on...Saturday morning 04.55, I couldn;t start the car .... yeah right! I ran upstairs again got my lock for my bike hopped on my bike to take a sprint to the Airport. NOT Funny as I was wearing my uniform already and I had to start working at 05.30. It's only 8 km, but racing my regular bike, wearing my uniform an carrying a rather big back weren't very helpfull things to go faster. Almost there a huge motorbike drove on to the Bikerpath .... man that scared me, but then I noticed it was Police.... SHOOT, I didn't have my lights. It was still pretty dark and in my rush I forgot to grab the lights for my bike (I got separate lights which you click on and off the bike)It was a pretty funny conversation. He stopped me and said: Goodmorning lady, how come your bike doesn't have any lights? Well I said, because the lights of my car were on all night. I saw His face and explained fruther that my car wouldn't start because I forgot to turn of the lights yesterday evening, and therefore quickly grabbed my bike and started my race to Schiphol to be on time for work. (there's no public transport that early)The he asked, how come your sweating .. yeah right it was very humid, already like 25 celcius and no wind. Well anyway after he gave me a lecture about safety etc, he let me go. Still made it on time for work, but it took me about 30 minutes, 2 bottles of water to get back to normal temperatures again. Man, I was sweating like .... well whatever. So that's my week for traffic & driving. I guess I jsut have to shut up.Off to San Francisco tomorrow. Only for 2 full days, but at least it's a bit of break!I'm joining a friend of who is a cabin attendant and she has a trip to SFO.

It's raining ......

Unfortunately some bad news. Due to the bad weather forecast BODYPUMP on the beach 2008 has been postponed. I just received a phonecall. I'm a little disappointed, but the forecast willbe strong winds, rain and maybe thunderstorms. Because we want safety for our participants first, the organisation decided to cancel for Saturday and postpone the event to a later date in August. I will keep you posted about this.

I'm sad right now :-(
