Yesterday I went to the gym. While this may not seem noteworthy to some, it was for me. No, I’m not a lazy slob who perpetually sits on the couch eating potato chips and watching television. My gym visit was also not the product of a belated New Year’s resolution (I despise those).
So why am I so excited about being back at the gym? Three words: dual inguinal hernia. Yeah, it hurts just hearing those words. I returned from a fantastic Christmas vacation to Oregon and California to the unwelcome news that I would need surgery … immediately.
I recovered well enough in 3-4 weeks, only to be saddled with some kind of cold that had me coughing and wheezing like a 30-year smoker. Yesterday I was back to my normal self - actually better than ever after enduring discomfort for years.
I plan on being a regular at the Parks Fitness Center the rest of this semester and I hope to see you there. It’s FREE, people! There’s no excuse not to stay in shape at KC.
