It was the moment of reckoning: my three-month
fitness assessment down at "the club". Kim was there, all five-foot of muscled intimidation. She pinched me, she made me step up and down, she forced me to stretch, she took my blood pressure (how am I meant to appear unpressured at a moment like this?), she pummeled me with questions. I reported on my routine, which has been surprisingly consistent. "So how come I don't look like Arnold Schwarzenegger yet?" I joked, attempting to relieve the tension. "Well, he's shorter than you," was her response. I didn't know how to take that.
My vital statistics were soon entered into the magic computer program and...well:
Oh yeah, come on, that's what I'm talking about! 30 years old!! I get to celebrate all those birthdays again!
Still not looking too great in those blue shorts.
