First, some announcements, then the challenge.
1. For those of you in Chicago this Saturday, we will have a workout starting at precisely 9:00 am in the hotel gym on the 4th floor. You can bring friends old & new, and you will get 3 points for your team. I’ll be coaching.
2. The queerfit workout on Saturday in Brownwood Park will be coached by Glo.
3. Put Saturday April 18 in your calendars for the End of QF92 Cookout at Zahra’s. More details to come; for now, save the date.
The Friday challenge:
Start your day with 5 sun salutations.
Then, five times over the course of the day, break out into 20 lunge steps (10 each leg) and 15 squats while in a public space.
That’s it. Let us know in the comments where you did these lunges & squats. If your adoring public, admiring the depth of your lunges and the beauty of your squats, wants to know when they can get in on the action, let them know QF92 is in its last 15 days (!!!!!) and they should keep an eye on this blog and the FB page to get in on what comes after. And if you’re in Chicago, let them know they can come on Saturday morning, but we really do start at 9:00 sharp. Now get your point for your team!

Done. Subbed pushups for squats and mountain climbers for lunges. But only ten pushups each set, so I added five more Sun Salutations at the end. Done in my front yard, but no comments from neighbors or passers-by. I’m thinking they all know that, as my granny used to say, “Some o’ them upstairs apartments is empty.”
I will miss you all tomorrow, for I’ll be taking Ms. Nikki-Nik to a teen FOCUS event.
PSA: If there are those of you who are kin or friends with folks who have special needs or families of kids (0–22) with special needs and who don’t know about FOCUS, please send them to me! FOCUS is a wonderful organization that has made such a difference in our lives. Great camps and other activities for children (and families) with special needs–things that families with “typical” kids take for granted. (For me, Nikki is the norm, the typical.)
When my family goes to FOCUS family camp in August, it’s the only weekend of the year when I feel that I can fully breathe.
That should say it all.

Have fun tomorrow Cindy! I’d love to hear more about FOCUS sometime.
My lunges and squats:
1. In parking lot of Dekalb Farmer’s Market
2. Walking back to my car with my groceries (still at farmer’s market)
3. Walking from my car to campus
4. Walking from my office to the gym (got some good stares by students!)
5. Walking from campus to my car

Done! Pulled over on my way to do an assessment in a gas station parking lot. I think I’m going to be part of somebody’s security footage. 😉
