Leaping Gazelle-like.

Bento's taking ballet! While most of you will know me as, well, not exactly a picture of grace and lightness, I've decided to take a beginner's ballet class this year. My friend Katie took it last year (as a way to improve her hockey skills, interestingly enough) and I decided to join her this year. Having realized that I'm a co-dependant exerciser -- I wimp out early if it's just me on a treadmill, but give me a frisbee to chase after or an instructor to keep up with and I'll work until I drop -- I thought a directed class would be good for me. It's no Thai Kickboxing, to be sure, but after having taken the trial class last night, I think I'll enjoy it. The hour-long class flew by, it wasn't bewilderingly hard, and my muscles are pleasantly tingly (not outright sore) this morning.

I may never leap gazelle-like, but at least I can try.
