First Day

This is Free Time.  Doug and I began the day with the "Sacred Pause" in the Chapel - a 15 minute, yoga-like spiritual exercise, which was a lovely start.  After a breakfast of Fritatta and other breakfasty things,we each went to our program.  Mine - Song, Rhythm and Your Body as Persussion was amazing.  Our leaders, Dawn and Karla, are two talented young women from Vancouver, who lead choirs, teach piano & do singing workshops and both sing in a group called The Shirleys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2CKTW1xNqo.  Our class of 18 is of mixed abilities (lucky for me), but after one class of 3 hours,we were singing in 5 part harmony and learning to snap, stomp and clap all at the smae time.  I felt like I was part of that Steve Martin routine!
Doug's more physical program- Stretch, Run, Swim, Rest was led by an IronMan participant and therefore more rigorous.   Doug is not "big on running". Swimming and stretching are ok though.
The weather is warm but overcast.  Do we attract clouds????
