A probable solution?
So I think I found a solution to my “issue” with myself feeling competitive towards my soldier, *A*. Tonight I had her take an hour off of her shift to come to the gym with me. I loved it. We had a blast on the cardio machines (of course avoiding that dang elliptical!). I challenged myself to run a bit longer than I originally intended to, and challenged her to stay on the elliptical longer than she intended. Then she taught me a few core workouts and abdominal work outs that I could benefit from, and I helped her work her calves. It was very motivating for both of us and no tension at all. I really wish I could have kept her on day shift with me and we could go together regularly… Weigh in and a longer blog with some alternative perspectives will come tomorrow. Yey for Fridays… (HAHA… like that makes a difference here!).Is home. ~K
Sound like a good solution that benefited you both. See you are a leader! Stay strong.
