Sore in the York

Posted in People, Travel, Work at 1:40 pm by alby

Sore this week.

I was in Harrogate again at the weekend for another Pilates course.  And my word it was a tough one.

Got there to discover there was an exam at the end of the second day.  Then spent 12 hours doing Pilates and learning how to teach it better etc.

So for the exam I was already about done in.

We were split into 2 groups of 6 and then we each had to teach the others 3 exercises with the whole demonstrating/explaining/tweaking and helping out stuff.  So if you went first you then had to watch 5 other people do better than you; if you went last then you had more time to worry.  And whichever you still had to do 18 exercises over the course of the exam.  A normal class would have maybe 10 exercises.  So that was physically hard work on its own.

But there was some excellent light relief.

On the Saturday I’d arranged to go to York and stay over with Mamph in return for a curry and company.

Got there to find others had been invited and we ended up in a pretty decent curry house with excellent beer from The York Beer and Wine Shop (excellent place).

This was followed by a trip to a local pub where a round of drinks for 6 cost £7.50ish.  Most impressed.

We all headed back to Mamph’s to finish off the evening.

But an early start wasn’t welcome, sadly necessary tho’.

Exam done – think I did ok.

More Pilates requests coming soon (probly).
