The granite girls have a special guest today, Mrs. Ellen Vail.  A dear family friend! Enjoy

It was an incredibly beautiful day here in Naples.  I decided to try something new for me…and joined in a Water Aerobics class. I had expected a mild workout, but was quite surprised and delighted as it was about 60 minutes and a pretty intense workout. There were about 20 women in the pool, heated to 82 degrees.  Looking up at the blue skies, palm trees, and puffy white clouds while cross country skiing under water was pretty awesome!  I believe my heart rate hovered around 135 to 140 for a good 30 minutes or so. It felt great! Many of the women wore weighted gloves to increase the resistance on their arms..I will try to get a pair before the next time. I am so fortunate to be here for the winter. I count my blessings. Working out with the military families in mind increases my awareness of my good fortune.

And also, today was the first day the Granite Girls worked out together! Despite DK not feeling 100% we still went out and were able to enjoy the 80 degree weather while walking around our neighborhood and catching up!. We walked 2 miles.
