AM

Time: 5:30AM
Duration: ~1:26:00 with waterstops and stop lights
Location: Hills in Westlake

Sport: Running
Workout: Easy 8 miles
Distance: 8.5 Miles
Weather: Cold
People: Team Rogue

I meet up with Team Rogue this morning. I had remember reading on the forum that usually if Steve or Ruth doesn't tell you the route early on in the week that means hills likely to follow. Yep, that is what happened this week. Ruth sent the email early this week on the routes and there wasn't one for today.

It was pretty chilly this morning. I wished I had my gloves and more layers. I started off with my usually group. Good talk and company makes the miles click by pretty fast. Then just as we crossed under Mopac all of the hills started coming and coming. I don't think I was ever so happy to see Ruth at that waterstop. I was planning on doing 8 and the rest of the group was doing 10. I kept thinking to myself, if no one else runs 8 then might as well suck it up and run 10 that way I wouldn't have to run 8 by myself. But luckily another girl also was only running 8. So we turned around and headed back to the store. The run back seemed to go by quickly expect for all of the stupid lights we had to stop for. I was happy to be done somewhat early and head to work on time.

Sport: Cardio/Weight Lifting
Workout: 50/50 class
Distance: N/A
Weather: Warm
People: Amber

I was ready to for bed around 3pm but I am not going to let running get the better of me. So instead of taking a nap when I got home, I hit the gym . I meet up with Amber to try a new class called 50/50 which I had never gone to. We got there early enough to set up all of our equipment. We had no idea what the heck to get or what the class was all about. The instructor finally comes in and he doesn't look like an instructor. He had a good size belly on him. I figured this class wasn't going to be good. But then we got started and it was actually pretty fun and hard. I really truly enjoyed it. We ended up doing 30 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of weight lifting. We did the step for about first half then did some weight lifting for the second part. I enjoyed the class and had alot of fun. I will got back to this one. At the end of the class we started talking about food and learned that he eats like crap and the most fatty food which explains his big belly. For lunch he had 5 tortillas with butter. Geez.. no wonder. Overall really good class and I will go back.
