And now for something completely different…
As I said in an earlier blog, I plan on taking it easy on the writing front for the month of December. There is always a lot going on, and I hate to be too distracte when I’m working on a manuscript. So this month I’m going to try some new things to see how I make out.
Like kickboxing.
I’m going to my first class tonight (yes even despite the fact I was home sick as a dog yesterday) and I’m anxious to see what it’s all about. I’ve been wanting to try kick boxing for a long time, so I’ll let you all know how I make out. No doubt I’ll be crawling around my house tomorrow LOL! 
So has anyone tried it before? Things I should be aware of?

It’s so much fun, C!! I did it in my younger, *ahem* thinner days.
The muscles that hurt will surprise you — there’s these little back muscles, right down the centre, that I didn’t even know existed until I tried kickboxing. After a really good workout, it sort of feels like someone ripped your wings off. You’ll know what I mean tomorrow…

Thanks for the heads up, Wylie.
I think my wings were ripped off many years ago, but you have me curious now. LOL!

I’ve not done kickboxing, but I used to do karate - was really into it, and as Wylie says, it was in my younger much-thinner days. And yes, Wylie’s right, you’ll discover muscles you’ll never know existed. Just don’t forget to breathe.

Hmmm haven’t done kick boxing, but I want to try. I’ve been doing weight training mostly, and some serious ab stuff with a ball. One day I’ll get the guts and kick box.
I thought there was a kick boxing game on Wii … maybe you should get that! LOL!

YEY, kickboxing should be fun! I’m trying bicycling and really looking forward to it. I, too, am taking it easy on the writing front this month starting this weekend until January.
Goodluck with the class!

I haven’t, but my sister loved it when she took it. Supposed to be a good workout. Have fun!!

Go, Christine! It sounds like fun to me. I can’t wait to hear how you get on.

Go Christine! I’ve been walking after work, and it’s actually getting easier.
Let us know how the kickboxing goes.

Kickboxing? That’s soooo cool! I’ve always wanted to take kickboxing classes but they don’t offer them around here. Soooo…. how did it go? *wg*
You know, perhaps the heroine of your next novel could be a kickboxing instructor or something like that. Maybe she could be the hero’s kickboxing instructor. Plenty of body contact, sweat, adrenaline rush… *winks*
