Zumba take three!

I just want to go on record saying that I made it through my third Zumba class this past Thursday (two weeks in a row). I am starting to pick up on more of the steps, actually anticipating some of them. And I think my hips actually moved the way they were supposed to on more than one occasion.

I am going to try to stick with Zumba weekly or at least three times per month. I need the diversity, and it does not hurt that according to our instructor, you can burn around 800 calories.

Not feeling motivated

I had a decent run on Wednesday of this week. I forgot my mp3 player, but that did not seem to affect me too much, other than I felt kind of bored as I ran. I run up and down the same street, which makes me wonder if I should change the blog to "Running up and down the same street." Less catchy title, for sure, but more accurate. Regardless, I am not so bored that I am ready to pick another route; that beginning hill gets me every time, so shouldn't I master that before moving on? And I hate to pick a more flat route, thus taking out some of the challenge.

I should run today, now that I am back on my two-a-week run cycle, or so I thought. I just cannot motivate myself to put on the layers and running gear. And the gray skies are not helping. Unfortunately, I also need to stop at a funeral home after my run/when I pick up my kid, and I feel a little funny walking in with running pants and matted hair. Maybe I will just walk a little today, as I did yesterday. Speaking of boring...
