Gifted Typist

On Saturday I worked out for six hours. The event was called Bustamove or BAM.

There were about 750 of us on the floor of the Metro Centre doing yoga, zumba, pilates and everything else.

We set two world records that have been accepted by the Guinness people.

And we sweated with none other than Richard Simmons, the fitness guru.

It was all in the name of raising money for a digital mammography machine for the early detection of breast cancer.

The day was long but fun.

By the end, I felt more more tired mentally than physically.

The world records were for the biggest 10 second hug and the longest line of continuous massage. Think conga. Goofy but fun.

I was part of a team called the Halifaxchicks, an assembly of women who met through Twitter. We raised money together through pancake breakfasts, pub crawls and on the streets in brazen charm offensives.

We also raised money individually and on-line. We raised over $11,000 between the 11 of us.

Not bad for a day’s workout.

My friend and team mate Shelagh has some pictures of our team and the day.

See if you can spot the typist in the group pix.
