The No-Running Update
Today will mark three weeks since the Vermont City Marathon, and three weeks since I last ran. The absence of running also means lack of blog content, so this is why there have been minimal blog posts lately. I’m a firm believer if I don’t have anything worth writing about, to not write anything at all. But I figured I’d post an update about my lack of running. No running has given me more time for a lot of other workouts! And also time for relaxing on Saturday mornings. 😀 Hot Yoga I’ve been going to a Hot Flexibility Flow once a week. I love this class. It’s perfect for…

I can run a half marathon but I can hardly do 10 modified push ups. My upper body is very flabby! This is going to change! (thanks Courtney for the photo!) Now I have access to…

My First Body Pump Experience
After reading numerous blogs raving about Body Pump, I’ve been kind of sad that my gym doesn’t have it. It doesn’t have classes at all, actually, since it’s pretty must just a bare bones gym. But after talking to Becca on twitter for the past couple of days, she invited me to be a guest at her gym and attend a Body Pump class with her last night!!! I was also super excited to meet her for the first time. She’s so cute and nice and I had such a good time chatting with her! So we got to the gym and walked into the room where the classes are…
