Special Gift of Opportunity

MCC has a great fitness center (PAC).  It's full of a variety of equipment...all new. Elipticals, treadmills and weight machines. Mats, medicine balls and free weights.  The room has floor to ceiling windows on two sides.  It's open to faculty, staff and students early in the morning, over the lunch hours and in the evening.  Plenty of opportunity to make use of the facility...so it would seem.  But it's closed for the use of our athletes from 2pm til 6pm..my favorite time to work out. 


So in a conversation with our athletic director about working out, I mentioned that it was best for me to exercise right after work...around 4 in the afternoon.  He then gave me permission to use the PAC any time I wanted...even when the athletes are using it!  Thus the VIP Pass that never expires.

So I have been given a very special gift...an opportunity to work out at a time most opportune for me.  I won't have to get up at the crack of dawn, work out at lunch and spend the remainder of the day all sweaty in my good clothes or go back to school at night.  Now I guess I really don't have any more excuses...  I took advantage of my new opportunity this afternoon.  Day one of forever...or at least as often as possible.  Thanks Skip!
