Gosh, I have really slacked this week. I've been busy with other things, good things. I let this happen since I'm not training for anything right now, except for a thanksgiving race that I am doing just for fun. Today I ran a mile and then didn't want to anymore so I didn't. I did 6 more miles of cross training doing spin, elliptical, and then joined the last 45 minutes of a body combat class. I'm not a "class" person, but the instructor saw me looking in and pulled me in. I think she felt bad for me and thought I was intimidated to come in. Really I was looking in at them while I was totally thinking of something non related. Then when she ran out and invited me I gracefully declined her invitation. I think that made her feel more sorry for me and insisted that I come in. So not really sure what the class was about, since I couldn't recall what they were doing, I went in and threw a few mediocre kicks and uppercuts. I tried to look cool and coordinated, but once again I knew I was cool just not coordinated:) The best part was the sounds the instructor made and the sounds the usuals made back. "RAW! (raw), YAH (yah), He YA! (he ya)" and the best, "UH UH YA! (uh uh ya)". I loved how involved everyone was. It reminded me of how runners will talk to each other and encourage each other during fartlek and indian ladder workouts. Maybe that is their language. HE YA RAW YAH UH UH YA!
