So hot, even in the gym!
I was sweating just walking down to the dance studio from the locker room last night. Oh, the AC was on, but it was still just so hot! I managed to dance through Zumba and tried to go as all out as I could during step...but I didn't have the energy to stay for Body Jam :( Still an hour and a half of working out isn't bad.

Starting the week right!
Although I got a lot of chores done this weekend, and fit in some good socializing and even me time, I didn't exercise so that by last night I felt blah. I got up at 6 this morning, made coffee, put on Wilco and went for a morning run. The weather was crisp and sunny and it felt really good! I got in 3 miles in 30 minutes.

2 Classes + 0 Shopping = 100th workout!
We got out of work an hour early yesterday so I had some time to kill...I wondered through Anthropologie and tried some stuff on...but made no purchases! (consequently I felt like I *saved* money. Not true). I did Body Pump for an hour and because we got out a few minutes early, I decided to do Pilates also. So my muscles/core got an AWESOME workout yesterday!

Tuesday dancing
I went to see Step Up 3D on Monday and so pretended I was a great dancer yesterday in Zumba and Body Jam. The humidity was bringing me down and even after 2.5 hours working out, plus a shower at the gym, my slacks and shoes were still wet from the torrential downpour we are experiencing. I got home late, cold, wet, tired and hungry. But it was still a good workout.
Place:

Workout
Hot and humid
Took Friday off but didn't end up doing much other than being a bump on a log. Finally got out for a run around 2 pm. Managed 3 miles in 30 minutes but it was hot!! Should have motivated myself to go in the morning.

Looking for muscle definition...
...in time for being a bridesmaid! I went to Body Pump on Thursday night-- probably could have upped the weights on some things but have a hard time remembering what weight to use for which routine (except squats when I just add it all on!).

I had a kind of grumpy day yesterday. It started with me returning a zipcar and having a guy in a car (that I sort of cut off, but it was a confusing situation) FOLLOW me into a parking lot just so he could flip me off. Kind of scary actually.
Place:

Workout
Get going run
I had plans on Saturday that started at noon...I realized that like my mom, I like to get my weekends started early otherwise I laze around. So I did some lazing, but then motivated to get out for a 30 minute run around the Pond before heading to the Boston Harbor Islands. My legs felt like they got a good workout coupled with the squats from earlier in the week!
Place:

Workout
Lots o Squats!
Looking at the schedule yesterday at the gym, I decided I should try to make the 5:30 Body Pump class-- it means I kind of have to sneak out of work a few minutes early, but I had gotten a lot done yesterday so felt like it was okay. There were no more tickets to the class when I got there, but the instructor let me in anyway (perhaps a benefit of being a regular?).

Yay! It's one year for me, too! I always enjoy your posts.
Posted in response to: One Year of Social Workout, One Year of Change
Great fall list! I love those things too. You know the acorn caps on the street? I love how if you step on them they make a really satisfying "crunch"!
Posted in response to: Things I Love About Fall
I wonder which cat THAT was...
Also, heat wave=bad ozone=bad breathing. Take it easy and know you'll get a break when it cools off.
Posted in response to: week six, begun!
I'm glad you'll give the bootcamp another chance. It's easy to get stuck in our comfort zone (I am in a comfort zone now!). I also like the sounds of your raw foods! I didn't do that last year but I kind of wanted to. Maybe I'll plan a raw food day too-- best to do it now while fruits and veggies are in season!

Well I don't think "just" the half marathon training is too little...but I'm sorry your class got cancelled and the pool's out of service.
Posted in response to: Double Bad News: An early end to bootcamp and the pool is closed
I thought for sure the hiking would burn tons of calories. Gotta be better than sitting at a desk, though, right? 2.0 is it's own thing, so I think you have to post separately over there.
Posted in response to: Vacation Pudge
I'm so proud of you! I wouldn't worry about speed yet-- work on endurance for now. You are doing soooo great!!! And as your friend, you can go running with me anytime and I'll let you set the pace :)
Posted in response to: 800% more running than a month ago
Wow I read this and just remembered I had a dream about doing pushups last night! I dreamed that I could do like 20 and it wasn't that hard! Unlike real life. My subconscious must be telling me something...
Posted in response to: Still doin' them push-ups
I love it too! I like to think, okay, I just sat at my desk at work for 8 hours, how great does it feel to finally be MOVING and BREATHING!! I support this!
Posted in response to: Gandhi Would Never Count Calories in the Spin Class Line
I would never trade a night out with a friend for a night in at the gym-- you're right, it's good to keep a good balance!
Posted in response to: Happy with my beer layer
Definitely happy to give up the tv...
Posted in response to: would you rather give up sex or be skinny?
Congrats on staying for one more class! Whenever I do that, I feel really smug :)
Posted in response to: Run, Zumba, Pilates night
Okay, I bookmarked this. It will get my off my ass at work!!
Posted in response to: Drop and give me … 100?
I've just been thinking I need to channel your good workout goals and healthy eating! Great job with the 20 miles this week!!!
Posted in response to: Week 1 of the 100 Mile Challenge: Success
Aww, I love this!! Dancers are amazing! And you have the right attitude :)
Posted in response to: Sometimes, music is just made to be danced to...
I've been running for probably 10 years and my average is a 10 minute mile, unless I am in a race, when I seed myself at about 9:30. And it's not easy at all to run a whole mile without stopping! A 5K is a great goal and I agree with Liz about the couch to 5k. And running with your dog? Fantastic-- you are both getting exercise! Keep us updated on your progress!
Posted in response to: How fast are you supposed to be able to run a mile?
Welcome back and good for you for giving yoga another shot. I hope you continue to enjoy it!
Posted in response to: My first yoga class (ever)
Oh, good reminder about the shoes-- maybe new shoes would revitalize my runs! And AMAZING time!! Great job!
Posted in response to: Super Speedy Shoes
Great idea!! I love it!!

It's like a swamp out there :/
