Rocked it!



Sometimes you have a workout where at the end you feel like you rocked it, better yet owned it!  These are rare occasions that I embrace. 

This happened to me yesterday. Recently, I have become certified to teach Piyo and Insanity. I love Insanity and am working with two studios to teach at this winter. I have my first audition coming up on Tuesday so I did a full out practice run again. Just by memory. It reminded me how much I memorized routines for dance and it's the same. 

After I had so much energy and felt like I could jump it went so good. Here is to hoping the interview goes well. 1 more day to do another full out practice.

Ready for fall

I almost feel bad saying I am ready for summer to be over. I feel as though we were cheated. It wasn't a hot, or even warm summer. Sure we had some nice days but not enough to warm up the lake. Heck the 4th of July was cold!

I always struggle running in humidity and this year it wasn't hot but it was humid. Finding out I have asthma from allergies and exercise does not help. Hence fall running. The cool weather is so much easier for me. The allergies are lower so the asthma doesn't flare up. Take today. It was 46 degrees when I went for a run. I cut 5 minutes off my time. I wasn't trying and I was running slow. The big thing was I didn't have to walk from my asthma. I literally walked for 1 minute after 15 minutes if running. 

I will admit I totally fear what this means for snowfall and temperatures this winter. I cannot handle 68+ days below 0 again. I guess it is a give and take. For now, I will take my enjoyable asthma free runs.
